Cricket legend Michael Clarke has provided an assessment on a viral incident involving Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.
During day one of the first Test between India and Australia in Nagpur, the visitors were 122-5 when the 34-year-old took something out of teammate Mohammed Siraj’s hand at the VCA Stadium. Jadeja then appeared to rub a substance onto the index finger of his left hand just before he bowled another delivery.
That raised the suspicions of those watching and Clarke, former captain of the Australian side, explained how he could have attracted less scrutiny. "He’s bowling so much that he’s probably got a blister or cut on that finger. What he should have done there, he should have given the ball to the umpire and stand in front of the umpire while he was putting it on his finger," the former batsman told The Big Breakfast via Yahoo Sport Australia.
