As the first session of 5 of the first Test between India and England in Headingly, the Indian camp was less happy in the camp. England openers, Zak Croly and Ben Docket continued to disappoint the visitors with a commanding opening stand, comfortably crossed the 100 -run mark. With a little help offer, India’s bowlers saw rapid frustration for a success. Amidst this disappointment, veteran spinner Ravindra Jadeja found an unusual reason to celebrate. The cameras caught the 36 -year -old in high souls when umpire Chris Gaffaini eventually agreed to replace the Duke Ball in the 27th over of England’s innings. India had been trying for a long time to convince the umpires that the ball was out of size, but to no avail. When the ball eventually failed to pass through the gauge, the umpires had no option but to allow replacement. Standing close to Jadeja, grabbed his fist and entered into a wide smile, celebrating a rare small victory in front of Galfany-a light-hearted moment that expressed India’s growing disappointment with situations.

The issue of the ball has been a recurring subject in the first test. On day 3, Rishabh Pant, who has been in the heart of India’s battle with the bat, was visually stimulated when his petition for a ball change was rejected. In a moment, which provoked a backlash on social media, the pants made the ball to one side, criticized some former cricketers, which they considered ‘unnecessary’.

As the headingley test goes into its decisive final sessions, India will expect the fresh ball movement and bounce – and perhaps a path back against England’s flexible top order. For now, however, Jadeja’s small fist pump remains the only success that he has managed the whole morning.
