The Day 2 of the 1st test match between India and Australia is being played on VCA Stadium, Nagpur. The game began on Thursday where Ravindra Jadeja was India’s star performer on the 1st Day of the first Test against Australia. He grabbed a five-wicket haul, including the important wickets Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne to restrict Australia for 177 runs.

Like in every India-Australia series there is controversy looming large. This time the controversy began even before the match as the Nagpur pitch draw heavy criticism from the Australian Media. The first day of the 1st test saw a huge controversy boil over with Indian spinner Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammad Siraj.

Former English skipper Michael Vaughan took his twitter and wrote:

“what is it he is putting on his spinning finger? Never ever seen this” he tweeted

Former India coach and commentator Ravi Shastri did not hold back on his thoughts when he was asked to comment on the statement by Vaughan. Speaking during the broadcast for Star Sports India,

“I have not heard much about it. I have asked two questions. Was there any problem with the Australian team? the answer was ‘no’. did the match referee come into play? He was told about it, he cleared everything, matter ends. Why are we discussing anybody else? And to be honest, ointment as a reliever, the match referee would have been told if there was any decision to be taken or not. By the way on this track, you don’t need anything. The ball will turn” Shastri said
