Jadeja's exclusion from India's playing XI for the first two Tests came as a surprise. Washington Sundar and Ravichandran Ashwin were preferred over Jadeja in the Indian XI for the opening two Tests. The left-handed batter justified his selection in the third Test by scoring a crucial half-century.
Jadeja's innings came to an end on day four when he miscued a short ball from Australia captain Pat Cummins. Jadeja played a hook shot but was cleanly caught by Mitchell Marsh in the deep. Jadeja scored 77 runs off 123 balls with the help of seven boundaries and one six before heading to the dressing room.
Unlike the Top Order, He Didn't Play and Miss - Mohammad Kaif
"India can think of dropping a batsman but not Jadeja. Unlike the top order, he didn't play and miss. He looked the most comfortable Indian batsman here. India on this tour have failed to put their best playing XI on field. Hope it changes in the last two Tests. #AUSvIND," Mohammad Kaif wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).
