Champions trophy 2025: Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, on Sunday defeated the dangerous team New Zealand by 44 runs in the Group A of the ICC Champions Trophy. Team India has topped Group A by winning all their 3 matches against Bangladesh, Pakistan and New Zealand. Now Team India will face Australia in the semi -finals on March 4. Star all -rounder Ravindra Jadeja came into controversy during the match against New Zealand on Sunday. Ravindra Jadeja did something that has targeted New Zealand Cricket Commentator Simon Duli.
Experienced commentator targeted Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja gave Team India a big wicket on the important occasion by dismissing New Zealand batsman Tom Latham (14) on the second ball of the 33rd over. Tom Latham tried to reverse the reverse and missed the line of the ball, causing the ball to be on his back thigh. Tom Latham did not even consider taking a review and when the umpire raised his finger, he went out of the field without protesting. However, during this time, New Zealand commentator Simon Duli did not like Ravindra Jadeja.
Question on Jadeja’s behavior during the match
Soon after throwing the ball, Ravindra Jadeja ran in the middle of the pitch and started appealing for LBW and celebrating the wicket. Simon Duli has objected to Ravindra Jadeja running in the middle of the pitch. Players are usually warned for such antics so that the pitch is not damaged, but the umpires decided not to intervene in the matter. Simon Dales has responded to questioning not taking action despite the violation of the rules.
Should have been warned.
Simon Duli said, ‘Look at it. You cannot do this. (This) should have been a warning. Players are warned if the pitch steps into the danger area. Invited to bat first, India scored 249 runs at the loss of 9 wickets with the help of Shreyas Iyer (79) a half -century innings and then dismissed New Zealand for 205 runs in 45.3 overs. Shreyas Iyer and Akshar Patel handled India’s innings after the top three batsmen were dismissed early. Shreyas Iyer and Akshar Patel shared 98 runs off 136 balls for the fourth wicket to bring India to a score to fight. Akshar Patel scored 42 runs from 60 balls while Shreyas scored 79 off 98 balls, which is his fourth half -century in the last six innings.
