India vs Australia 3rd Test, Day 4: 5 Talking points

#2. Ravindra Jadeja notches up a fifty before striking twice with the ball

Jadeja’s unbeaten fifty included 5 fours and 2 sixes

Ravindra Jadeja walked into bat after the Indian batting duo of Pujara and Saha had mentally dented the Aussie bowlers.

The left-hander took advantage of the situation and scored a much-needed fifty to take the lead to 152 runs. His unbeaten fifty included 5 fours, 2 sixes and not to forget, it included the infamous swordplay celebration right after he reached his fifty.

After India declared on 603/9, the left-arm spinner constantly troubled the Australian openers with his deliveries. With only a few overs left in the day, Jadeja sent Warner packing and scalped another one as he went past Lyon’s defence to hit the stumps in what turned out to be the last ball of the day.

Frenzied fans will now be expecting him to rip through the Aussie batting to force a result on the final day of the Test match.
