The Indian cricket team has now taken an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the ongoing 4-match test series which is being played under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 and with this, it has ensured that it will retain the trophy even if the Aussies win the remaining two test matches. However, India needs to win one more test match if it wants to play the finals of the World Test Championship 2021-23 so we are quite sure that it won’t get complacent in the remaining series.
The Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was the Player of the Match in the Nagpur test match as he performed not only with the ball but with the bat as well and in the second test match which was played at Delhi, Jadeja was once again adjudged as the Player of the Match for his superb performance, especially with the bat.
In the second test match, Ravindra Jadeja took 10 wickets in total (3 in the first innings & 7 in the second innings) and though his contribution with the bat wasn’t much, still he made useful 26 runs in the first innings. In the first innings of Australia, it was Mohammed Shami who was the highest wicket taker with 4 wickets but on Day 3, Ravindra Jadeja wreaked havoc on the Aussie batting line-up as he took 7 wickets and gave just 42 runs in 12.1 overs.
Twitter was set ablaze because of the marvelous performance of Ravindra Jadeja in the second test match, particularly in the second innings of Australia and here are some selected reactions:
