Former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja praised India’s lower-order dominance on day 3 of the first test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy. After losing Ravindra Jadeja in the morning, Shami and Axar stitched a beautiful partnership that added “lemon and salt to wounds” to Australia’s worries.
“The first two days were agony, they (Australia) were burnt and hurt. But today, in this first session, India rubbed lemon and salt into those wounds,” Jadeja said on Cricbuzz.
Jadeja continued that he would be surprised if India bats in the second innings and said India dominated the proceedings of the match
“When they were bowled out for 177, I had said that I would be surprised if India needed to bat twice. After the first session on Day 2, it looked like Australia was making a comeback but after Lunch the way India dominated, it will also leave its impact psychologically on the Australians. The one little thing that went in Australia’s favor was that Lunch was taken when the last Indian wicket fell, otherwise their openers would have had to rush in,” he said.
