‘No answers to his magic’ – Fans react as Ravindra Jadeja scalps 3 wickets to put Australia on backfoot in ODI World Cup 2023

Team India locked horns against Australia on October 8 at the MA Chidambaram Cricket Stadium in Chepauk, Chennai, to commence their journey to the ODI World Cup 2023. Star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja yet again showed his brilliant class by scalping three wickets during the play. The great spinner dismissed Australia’s great middle-order batters, Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, and Alex Carey, during the play.

Notably, Team India used all three spinners in the play, namely Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Ravichandran Ashwin, owing to the spin-friendly pitch in Chennai. However, Australia’s star batter Steve Smith departed for just 46 runs owing to a lethal bowling spell by Jadeja. In addition, Steve Smith was the most important batsman for his side, as he hammered the great century in the WTC Final, which made India lose the championship.

Following his wicket, the southpaw dismissed Marnus Labuschagne for just 15 runs. The right-handed batsman has a wonderful South Africa series, which makes his spot in the marquee event. In addition, the left-arm spinner removed wicketkeeper-batsman Alex Carey during the play. Notably, Carey showed his form in the Ashes 2023, so his wicket was equally important during the play.

Meanwhile, the wrist spinner, Kuldeep Yadav, had scalped two wickets for Glenn Maxwell and David Warner in the play. Notably, the DC bowler showed his lethal form in the series against the West Indies. Following that, he yet again showed his top class in the Asia Cup 2023, where he scalped 5 wickets against Pakistan as well as 4 wickets against Sri Lanka in the Super Fours of the Asia Cup 2023.

Notably, star pacer Jasprit Bumrah and great off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin had also picked up one wicket each, which reduced Australia to 145/7 in their opening game of the ODI World Cup 2023. Rohit Sharma and Co. are still looking to restrict them to under 200 runs as well as aim to win the opening game of the marquee event.
