Mohali: Decision declared in the first innings of the first Test against Sri Lanka (IND vs SL 1st Test) against Indian captain Rohit Sharma. It is alleged that Rohit and coach Rahul Dravid did not allow star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja to score a double century. Meanwhile, there were fans on social media who came out in support of the captain’s decision.
On the second day of the Mohali Test, skipper Rohit Sharma declared that Team India was 574-8. Ravindra Jadeja (175 * off 228 balls) and Mohammad Shami (20 * off 34 balls) were at the crease this time. This was Jadeja’s second century of his Test career. A section of fans claimed that if two or three more overs had been allowed, Jadeja would have scored his maiden double century. Another fan tweeted that Rohit captain Virat Kohli is the biggest achievement of Jadeja’s career.
Meanwhile, another group of fans has confirmed Rohit Sharma’s decision. They believe that team success is not about players or personal achievements. One fan argues that it is not easy for a player who has batted long in Tests to score 25 runs in 2-3 overs. They are reminded of the need to beat Sri Lanka twice on a flat pitch. Some fans are reminded of the old decision made by captain Rahul Dravid in 2004 when master blaster Sachin Tendulkar was 194 *. The fact that the same Dravid is now the Indian coach has drawn criticism.
In any case, Jadeja’s performance in Mohali was one of the best all-rounder batting history in Test history. Judd has been involved in three centuries. Apart from wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant (96), R Ashwin (61)’s performance on the second day was crucial in the Indian innings. Jaddu put on 130 for the seventh wicket with Ashwin. Hanuma Vihari (58) and Virat Kohli (45) put on a fine performance on the first day.
