India’s DRS blunders in the Indore Test against Australia have been the talk of the town. The hosts were left red-faced after losing all their reviews on the first day of the match. The main culprit behind this was Ravindra Jadeja, who was desperate to get a wicket and ended up wasting all the reviews.
The first blunder came in the second over of the day when Ravindra Jadeja appealed for a caught behind against Steve Smith. The umpire turned down the appeal and India decided to review the decision. However, the replays showed that the ball had not touched Smith’s bat and the review was wasted.
The second blunder came in the fourth over when Ravindra Jadeja appealed for a leg before wicket against David Warner. The umpire turned down the appeal and India decided to review the decision. However, the replays showed that the ball had pitched outside the leg stump and the review was wasted.
The third blunder came in the sixth over when Ravindra Jadeja appealed for a leg before wicket against Marnus Labuschagne. The umpire turned down the appeal and India decided to review the decision. However, the replays showed that the ball had pitched outside the leg stump and the review was wasted.
The fourth blunder came in the eighth over when Ravindra Jadeja appealed for a leg before wicket against Matthew Wade. The umpire turned down the appeal and India decided to review the decision. However, the replays showed that the ball had pitched outside the leg stump and the review was wasted.
The fifth and final blunder came in the tenth over when Ravindra Jadeja appealed for a leg before wicket against Mitchell Starc. The umpire turned down the appeal and India decided to review the decision. However, the replays showed that the ball had pitched outside the leg stump and the review was wasted.
This was a major embarrassment for the Indian team as they had wasted all their reviews on the first day of the match. It was clear that Ravindra Jadeja was desperate to get a wicket and he ended up wasting all the reviews. This was a major setback for the Indian team as they had to play the rest of the match without any reviews.
The Indian team needs to be more careful while using the DRS in future matches. They should not be too desperate to get a wicket and should use the reviews judiciously. This will help them avoid such embarrassing situations in the future.
