India successfully won the first T20 international match against Australia by 11 runs difference. As soon as the team registered their win, controversy started surfacing about India’s decision of bringing Yuzvendra Chahal as the replacement for Ravindra Jadeja who got hit by the ball on his head while batting. Australian head coach Justin Langer visibly frustrated over the incident. Apart from getting hit on the head, Jadeja had also picked hamstring injury during his knock of 44 runs of 23 balls.

This decision of team India didn’t go well with the Australian camp as Australian coach Justin Langer had an animated conversation with the match referee David Boon. He shook his head heavily expressing his disappointment over the matter, video of which went viral across the social media platforms.

Adding fuel to his frustration, Chahal picked 3 important wickets with an economy of just 6 runs and clinched the Man of the match award as well. Jadeja’s contribution helped team India to reach the decent total of 161 runs whereas his replacement Chahal’s contribution in bowling played a crucial role.

On seeing the match, former captain of England Michael Vaughan, posted a tweet in his official twitter account calling out Team India for pulling the concussion replacement. He said that no doctor or physio came to test Jadeja in his tweet. “No Doctor or Physio came out to Test Jadeja for concussion … he then looks like his has done something to his leg … then they pull the concussion replacement .. !!!!! #RatSniffed #OnOn #AUSvIND” his tweet read.
