The first match of the 4-match series of the Border Gavaskar Trophy is being played at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. On the first day, Australian captain Pat Cummins decided to bat first after winning the toss. But his decision was overturned by Indian spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Ashwin. Both the spinners took a total of 8 wickets in the first innings, with Jadeja taking 5 and 36-year-old Ashwin taking 3 wickets.
The Australian media stepped in to support the team after the Australian team’s poor performance and leveled grave accusations against Jadeja. On social media, a video in which fans accuse Jadeja of tampering with the ball is going viral. In fact, Jadeja’s finger was in pain due to long spells, and to get relief from that pain, he was applying pain relief ointment to his finger, which is clearly visible in the video.
Fox Cricket is trying to malign the image of Indian cricket to hide the poor performance of the Australian team. First and foremost, Fox Cricket humiliatingly called the Nagpur Test match’s wicket. Then Fox Cricket also raised questions about the DRS decision against Usman Khawaja. After this, he tried unsuccessfully to implicate Ravindra Jadeja in the ball-tampering controversy.
