Ravindra Jadeja brought a smile to the faces of fans with his lighthearted interaction with the umpire during the match. Despite not taking any wickets, Jadeja’s enthusiasm was evident on the field. The Indian team had been trying to get the ball changed due to its softening. Both Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant, the captain and vice-captain respectively, went to the umpires to request a ball change. Ultimately, the umpires agreed to replace the ball after a thorough check in the 27th over of England’s second innings. Jadeja, noticing umpire Chris Gaffaney, celebrated the decision with a small fist pump.
In other news, Rishabh Pant has been penalized by the ICC for his actions. He was fined for violating Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct. The infraction occurred when Pant showed dissent after the umpires decided not to change the ball, leading him to throw the ball to the ground in disagreement.
