At the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot, batters were finding it easier to put runs on the board in the third Test against England. The pitch suited the batters more, so the Indian players, after winning the toss, made the most of the batting-friendly pitch.
After India lost three wickets early, captain Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja put India in the driver’s seat, because it was difficult for the English bowlers to break the partnership. But after Mark Wood gave the breakthrough, it was a chance for debutant Sarfaraz Khan to showcase his ability for the national team.
The 26-year-old did not disappoint at all, for he quickly scored his half-century off 48 balls and was heading toward his maiden century. Because of the hype around him, many expected him to prove that he can do the same in Test cricket he has been doing in the Ranji Trophy.
This is the reason why Ravindra Jadeja is facing the wrath of the fans. He called for a single but stopped right away, but Safaraz was already out of the crease, and it was tough for him to go back as a quick throw from Wood ended his stay at the crease. This unexpected dismissal angered captain Sharma, who threw off his cap in the dressing room.
Fans would have showered praise on Jadeja for his 212-ball 110 runs, but as it came after his blunder, netizens started criticizing him for his mistake.

Ravindra Jadeja has been dealing with a lot of criticism in the past couple of days after Gujarati daily Divya Bhaskar’s interview with Jadeja’s father, Anirudhsinh Jadeja. Anirudhsinh blamed Jadeja’s wife Rivaba Jadeja for creating problems in the family.
Jadeja denied the allegations by slamming the interview but invited more criticism. So netizens have now started calling him “selfish” due to his strained relationship with his father as well as his blunder in the match.

Meanwhile, India posted 326/5 on Day 1 of the match. Jadeja will start Day 2 along with Kuldeep Yadav who scored one run from 10 balls after Sarfaraz Khan’s dismissal.
