On Day 2 of the Rajkot Test against England, Ravindra Jadeja overstepped a couple of times in a single over in the third session when bowling to Joe Root. While there is no free-hit in Test cricket for a no-ball, Rohit Sharma wasn’t pleased with the senior spinner making two transgressions in a single over.
Sharma jokingly scolded Jadeja by asking him to think like it’s a T20 match and avoid bowling no-balls.
Yaar, ye Jadeja IPL mein to itne No Balls nahi dalta. T20 samajh ke bowling kar, Jaddu (Man, Jadeja doesn’t bowl this many No Balls in IPL. Think it’s a T20 game and bowl),”
Sharma said, and smiled after saying this.
This comment from the Indian skipper was caught on the stump mic, and the commentators had a big laugh at it.
