IND vs AUS 1st Test: In the first Test match played between India and Australia, a video of the team’s star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja applying cream on his hand came to the fore, on which the Australian media and experts created a lot of uproars and called for ‘ball tempering’. They were also accused. The ICC has taken significant action and fined Jadeja for applying cream without permission.
ICC Took This Action on Ravindra Jadeja
The International Cricket Council has taken action against Ravindra Jadeja under Level 1. Jadeja has been accused of applying cream to the umpire’s finger without permission, although the ICC did not find any evidence of ball tampering in its review. Under the Level 1 charge, Jadeja has been fined 25 per cent of his match fee, while one demerit point has also been added to his account. This is Jadeja’s first demerit point in the last 24 months. The ICC has considered Jadeja guilty under Article 2.20.

This Was The Whole Matter
When Ravindra Jadeja dismissed Labushen and Steve Smith during the Australian innings, a video went viral on social media after that. In this, Jadeja is seen applying cream to his hand, although it can be seen from the video that he does not apply anything to the ball. Despite this, the Australian media starts making false allegations of ‘ball tampering’ on him. Please tell that the Australian team has not made any complaint regarding this matter, and now the ICC has taken action.
