Sunil Gavaskar slams Ravindra Jadeja's 'unacceptable' mistake; 'This could cost India'

Ravindra Jadeja's return to form has been of major help to Indian cricket team in longest format of cricket but third Test in Indore hasn't been very kind to him. Despite being a spinner, he bowled a few balls which have gone in Australia's favour, particularly his second -ball which provided a big jolt to India's ambitions as Marnus Labuschagne survived a scare. Former Indian opener Sunil Gavaskar blasted Jadeja, saying  experienced player cant repeat such mistakes at crucial junctures.

India crumbled on very first day under some superior bowling effort from spinner Matw Kuhnemann who registered his best figure in his brief international career. 

At end of Day 1, Australia has taken a healthy lead of 47 runs with six wickets in hand and visitors will try to pile on more misery next day. Unlike home side, Aussies don't seem to have any problems while reading pitch as likes of Marnus Labuschagne and Usman Khawaja tormented Indian bowlers throughout multiple sessions.

Sunil Gavaskar slammed Ravindra Jadeja on persistent -ball issue

Ravindra Jadeja has had knack of overstepping as left-arm spinner has w bowled eight  balls in this ongoing Border-Gavaskar trophy including five in Nagpur Test.

As skipper Rohit Sharma introduced spin from both sides to inflict some pressure on Steve Smith's side. It almost paid price as Labushacgne dragged a short one into his stumps. As batsman was heading back toward pavilion he was stopped by umpire and it was confirmed left-hander overstepped again to hand a lifeline to batsman.

Jadeja eventually went on to pick up his wicket but it was too late as momentum had already shifted towards batting side.
Gavaskar who was commenting on that sounded pretty furious as he lambasted spinner over his -ball saga. Calling out Paras Mhambrey to intervene he said, "That's unacceptable... He has a couple of man-of--match awards but for a spinner to bowl -balls like this... This could cost India. Paras Mhambrey (bowling coach) has to sit with him and make him bowl from behind ( line). He has got off mark w Marnus, he would have been out for a duck."
