Canberra: A speculation has been mounted among the cricketing world after Yuzvendra Chahal replaced Ravindra Jadeja as a ‘concussion substitute’ in the first T20I between Australia and India.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The India all-rounder was seen struggling due to a hamstring injury but off the second delivery of the 20th over, Jadeja, in an attempt to pull Mitchell Starc, top-edged a delivery into his helmet.<\/p>\n

At the end of the Indian innings, it\u00a0later emerged that he had been replaced by a \u2018like-for-like\u2019 option with Chahal due to being hit on the head.<\/p>\n

Despite being hit on the helmet,\u00a0Jadeja kept batting, hitting back-to-back fours off the fourth and fifth ball.\u00a0Chahal came in handy for the visitors as he ends up claiming a match-winning 3\/25 and player of the match award.<\/p>\n

The decision led to speculation, terming it as a biased advantage by the visitors\u00a0as he was already limping with a hamstring injury throughout his batting\u00a0and had been replaced by a specialist bowler.<\/p>\n

Australian head coach Justin Langer was seen having a verbal spat\u00a0with match referee David Boon by the side of the ground during the innings break.<\/p>\n

Former English captain Michael Vaughan and ex-Australian pacer Tom Moody also questioned as there was no physio to access Jadeja.<\/p>\n

\n

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<\/a> #OnOn<\/a> #AUSvIND<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

I have no issue with Jadeja being substitute with Chahal. But I do have an issue with a Doctor & Physio not being present after Jadeja was struck on the helmet which I believe is protocol now? #AusvInd<\/a><\/p>\n

Netizens also expressed their take on this matter which led India to win the first T20I of the three-match series by 11 runs.<\/p>\n

\n

BREAKING: Ravi Jadeja has been subbed out of the game with concussion meaning he can be replaced in this innings. He had copped a knock to helmet but batted on… and picked up with a late hamstring problem. Would suspect that's what the Langer and Boon blow up is about<\/p>\n

\n

Was Jadeja even checked after being hit on the head? Don't remember seeing it. He had pulled his hamstring and the physio was out there for that. https:\/\/t.co\/cUr2NvbqwI<\/a><\/p>\n

Jadeja must be the first person in the world to get concussion from tweaking a hamstring #AUSvsIND<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/AUKOERAPMF<\/a><\/p>\n
