Even before the start of the first of the four-match Test series, Australian media is continuously fishing out things out of the context of cricket. After making an unusual sensation on the Nagpur surface and accusing India of playing a ‘ploy’ to win the match with the rank turners or doctored pitches; they are now throwing the allegations of cheating and ball tampering on the senior Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja.
It all happened during the first innings when Jadeja went to his teammate and star Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj. After noticing Jadeja’s rubbing finger on Siraj’s wrist, a few of the Australian media houses claimed that he got something from the latter doctor the shine of the ball.
Although these allegations from Australian media on Ravindra Jadeja didn’t go down well with the Indian cricket fans and they took no time in tearing apart the fishing-out nature apart from focusing on the cricket. Indian fans took to Twitter to come up with some blunt and interesting replies to the claims of Aussie media.
Here’s how fans reacted:

He didn’t rubbed on ball. It’s clearly visible he is applying it to his finger.
