NEW DELHI: Star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja showcased his skills on the spin-friendly Chepauk pitch as he led India to victory over Australia in their opening World Cup match in Chennai on Sunday.
Jadeja’s Fiery Spell
The left-arm spinner Jadeja played a pivotal role in triggering a middle-order collapse for Australia. He took three quick wickets, leaving the Australian team in tatters.
First Wicket: Steve Smith
Jadeja bowled a sensational delivery to knock over former Australian captain Steve Smith. The ball turned just enough to beat the edge, and Smith had to walk back disappointed.
Second Wicket: Marnus Labuschagne
Marnus Labuschagne became Jadeja’s next victim as he was caught behind the wickets by KL Rahul. Labuschagne attempted a sweep shot but failed to time it properly, resulting in a faint edge.
Third Wicket: Alex Carey
Jadeja added to Australia’s misery by trapping Alex Carey in front for a duck. The Australian wicketkeeper-batsman had no answer to Jadeja’s bowling prowess.
Karthik’s Prediction Comes True
Former Indian wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik accurately predicted Jadeja’s impact before the match. He stated, “This pitch will turn. Jadeja will have a super day today.” Karthik’s prediction turned out to be spot on.
