At 206-2, on a flat Sydney Cricket Ground pitch with Marnus Labuschagne on 91, it looked unlikely that Australia were going to make an error. But that’s the beauty of Jadeja. He just makes something happen without trying anything extraordinary.

Ravindra Jadeja just makes everything look so easy. With the ball in hand, he takes a few small steps, delivers the ball repeatedly on a good length and waits for the batsman to make a mistake.
At 206-2, on a flat Sydney Cricket Ground pitch with Marnus Labuschagne on 91, it looked unlikely that Australia were going to make an error. But that’s the beauty of Jadeja. He just makes something happen without trying anything extraordinary. The ball he bowled to Labuschagne landed where most of his deliveries do, but turned and bounced just enough to find the edge. It was the breakthrough India thoroughly deserved. It was a reward for all the pressure created by pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj at the start of Day Two.
