Losing Jadeja Is A Blow For India, His Absence Will Hurt: Pujara
Ravindra Jadeja's ability to bowl dot balls that can put pressure on the opposition will be missed, said India No. 3 batsman Cheteshwar Pujara after the left-arm spinner could not take the field in Australia's second innings due to an injury to his left thumb.
Jadeja took a blow to his left thumb off a Mitchell Starc delivery. The all-rounder had picked four wickets in Australia's first innings and effected a run-out from the deep to send back centurion Steve Smith. He followed it up with a fighting 28 not out in India's first innings.
