On Day 2 of the third Test, England surged past 200 runs for the loss of just two wickets after dismissing India for 445 in the second session. Despite Jasprit Bumrah’s economical bowling, none of the other Indian bowlers managed to maintain an economy rate under five.
Ravindra Jadeja was notably the most expensive, conceding 33 runs in his four overs. However, his frequent overstepping of the delivery mark also drew criticism from skipper Rohit Sharma.
In the 31st over of England’s innings, Jadeja committed a front-foot no-ball, prompting a redo of his delivery. Yet, he repeated the error on the following ball, leading to Rohit’s vocal reprimand captured by the stump-mic.
Rohit humorously reminded Jadeja of his precise bowling in the Indian Premier League, urging him to treat each no-ball as if it were a T20 match with serious consequences.
