IND vs ENG 1st Test: England defeated Team India by 5 wickets in the first Test played in Leeds. Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur clashed on the last day of the Test, know why.

Ravindra Jadeja vs Shardul Thakur: The fifth day of the first test between India and England (IND vs ENG 1st Test Day 5) was completely in England's name, Shardul Thakur definitely brought life into the match by taking 2 wickets (Ben Duckett and Harry Brook) in 2 consecutive balls, but after that nothing went in the team's favor. On the fifth day, Thakur had an argument with Ravindra Jadeja.

On the fifth day, Ben Duckett and Jack Crowley took the innings forward, England needed 350 runs to win and had 10 wickets in hand. India's fielding remained poor on the fifth day as well, Yashasvi Jaiswal dropped Ben Duckett's catch when he was playing on 97 runs, after which he played a match-winning innings of 149 runs. After dismissing Duckett in the 54th over, Shardul Thakur dismissed Harry Brook on the very next ball, who had scored 99 runs in the first innings. After this, Ravindra Jadeja also got his first success, he dismissed Ben Stokes.

Why did Shardul Thakur and Ravindra Jadeja fight with each other?

After Brook's dismissal, the match became exciting, now Joe Root was the only experienced batsman left and with his wicket India could strengthen its hold in the match. Meanwhile, in Ravindra Jadeja's over, Root played a shot which went towards mid-wicket. Shardul standing at mid-on ran to the ball but he missed it, where 1 run should have been scored, 3 runs were scored.

After the ball was released, Shardul sat there, after some time he ran back to catch the ball. If he had gone back to catch the ball as soon as it was released, then at most only 2 runs would have been scored. Ravindra Jadeja got angry at this, he shouted at him and said something to him, then Shardul also replied. He said that my foot slipped, I fell. Watching the screen, it seemed that Jadeja told Shardul that even if he slipped, he would have caught the ball quickly.

Jadeja caught abusing Lord Shardul.
