The first match of the four-match Test series between India and Australia is being played in Nagpur. In this match, Jadeja took five wickets in Australia's first innings. This was the fifth five-wicket haul (five wickets in an innings) of his Test career. Jadeja bowled 22 overs in the match and kept the Kangaroo batsmen confused in his spin. However, a big controversy is coming out on the very first day of the India-Australia Test or rather the series. Fearing the bowling of Ravindra Jadeja, the Australian media has hatched a big conspiracy against him. Its video is also becoming very viral.

Actually, during the match in the video, Jadeja is seen taking something from Mohammad Siraj's hands and applying it on his fingers. This is something like a balm. After this, Australia's media outlet Fox Sport tweeted and posted a video of it. He wrote in its caption – Funny. A controversy has started, in which a questionable issue came to the fore during the first Test between India and Australia.

"Interesting."

This tweet and controversy has also been supported by former England captain Michael Vaughan and former Australia captain Tim Paine. Resharing Fox Sport's tweet, Vaughan wrote – What is Jadeja putting on his spinning finger? I've never seen this before. India vs Australia. At the same time, Tim Paine wrote - Funny. Australian media, Vaughan and Paine's baseless tweets have triggered a social media debate, while there is nothing in the video to spark controversy.

According to ICC rules, it is forbidden to put anything on the ball. In the video, Jadeja is not even seen doing anything like this. When a finger spinner bowls, it is common for his finger to be sore or the skin removed. In such a situation, it is possible that Jadeja is also going through the same situation. In such a situation, Siraj brings them some cream or balm. Even on this the Australian media has started a controversy. 

Actually, the players of Australia who accused the Indian player have themselves been accused of ball tempering. David Warner, Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft have been caught in ball tempering and have been punished. At the same time, in 2020/21, India defeated Australia 2–1 in a four-match Test series at home. Apart from this, the Australian batsmen could not do anything special in the first Test in Nagpur and were all out for 177 runs. 

Frustrated by all these cases, the Australian media has now got a new issue. Recently, the Australian media and the team had also created a controversy regarding the pitch. He alleged that India deliberately tampered with the pitch to help the team. Many cricket experts criticized the Australian media and the team on this. 

After the end of the first day's play, Jadeja said he was thrilled with his performance, which has definitely put India in a strong position. Jadeja said- I am very happy with the way I was bowling. Playing after five months, playing Test cricket, it's tough. I was ready for it and I was working hard on my skills as well as my fitness at NCA. After a long time in a class game (Ranji), I bowled around 42 overs. It has given me a lot of confidence to come here and play a Test match.
