Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is known for his tendency to ask for reviews from the captain, especially when it comes to LBW appeals. However, his habit of asking for reviews backfired during the third Test between India and Australia, and it was caught on camera in a hilarious incident.
During the sixth over of the first day’s play, with Usman Khawaja on strike and Jadeja bowling, the ball hit the left-handed batsman’s front pad, and the Indian team went up in appeal. However, the on-field umpire shook his head, saying “Not Out,” indicating that he believed the ball would have missed the leg-stump.
Jadeja, however, believed that the umpire had made a mistake and asked captain Rohit Sharma to use the Decision Review System (DRS). Rohit was reluctant, but eventually made the signal for the review. Unfortunately, the replay showed that the ball was clearly missing the leg-stump, and Jadeja’s review had been a waste.
An irritated Rohit was caught on camera swearing at Jadeja for his error in judgment, as the hilarious video went viral on social media. This wasn’t the only time Jadeja wasted a review during the match, as India lost all three reviews when he was bowling. Despite this, Jadeja did manage to pick four wickets, which helped keep India in the hunt.
