Jadeja suffered the blow when a rising delivery from Mitchell Starc hit his thumb on the Day 3 of the 3rd Test against Australia. Before the injury, he was the most successful bowler in the first innings claiming four wickets for 62 runs.
Jadeja’s injury has been a major loss to the Indian team. Apart from the all-rounder, Hanuma Vihari, who is suffered a hamstring strain, Mohammed Shami injured with an arm fracture and Jasprit Bumrah who has reportedly suffered an abdominal strain are expected to miss the Final Test.
