Former India captain Sunil Gavaskar feels that the no-ball bowled by
Ravindra Jadeja on which the spinner got the wicket of Marnus Labuschagne
was the turning point in the third India-Australia Test in Indore. During
Australia’s first innings, Labuschagne was yet to open his account when
Jadeja dismissed him.
The Australian batter had dragged a length ball from outside off
onto his stumps. However, TV umpire noticed that Jadeja had overstepped.
Labuschagne got a reprieve and scored 31 runs, while stitching a crucial
96-run partnership with Usman Khawaja for the second wicket and taking
Australia out of hot water.”If you look back on the Test match, you would say that is probably what
cost India the match. (Marnus) Labuschagne was out for a duck, and they
(later) stitched the partnership of 96 while India were dismissed for 109.
I think that was probably the turning point. I think that no-ball cost
India the match,” said Gavaskar after the match.There was no twist in the tale as Australia turned the tables on India with
an emphatic nine-wicket win in the third Test on a track that offered
wicked turn and variable bounce, confirming their place in the World Test
Championship (WTC) final, in Indore Friday.
