Nagpur: The first day of the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is shrouded in controversy. The allegation is against Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who took five wickets in the first innings of the Aussies in the match. The reason is that the Australian media and a group of fans have come up with a video that makes it suspicious that Jadeja rubbed or rubbed something on his finger during the match. After this, former England captain Michael Vaughan came forward and raised questions against Jaddu.
Michael Warne’s Olymp against Ravindra Jadeja by sharing Fox Cricket’s tweet. Fox Cricket’s tweet said, ‘A suspicious incident seen during the first innings of the India-Aussies first test is being discussed.’ Michael Vaughan’s reaction to this is heating up the controversy. ‘What does Jadeja put on his spinning finger? Never seen this before’ were the words of Warne’s re-tweet sharing Fox Cricket’s tweet.
