Ravindra Jadeja scored a brilliant 175 in the first match of the two-Test series being played between India and Sri Lanka. He scored the second century of his Test career. However, they missed out on a double century due to the decision of captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid. Jadeja could not score the first double century of his career as Rohit declared the innings.
Rohit declared India’s innings at 574 for eight. Jadeja was batting with Mohammed Shami during that time. Both had completed an unbeaten 103-run partnership for the ninth wicket. It seemed that Jadeja would score a double century by scoring fast runs, but it did not happen. He was also criticized for this decision of Rohit and Dravid.
Sachin Tendulkar: Before Jadeja, this has happened with India’s great batsman Sachin Tendulkar. Tendulkar was playing against Pakistan in Multan on 29 March 2004. Then he had scored 194 runs. He was about to score a double century. Before that the then captain Rahul Dravid had declared the innings. Dravid was criticized a lot on this. It is said that Sachin did not even talk to him for a long time.
Graeme Hick: One of England’s finest batsmen, Graeme Hick had to suffer a strange decision. The third Test of the Ashes series between Australia and England was being played in Sydney from January 1, 1995. Batting first, England had scored 309 runs. After this, the Australian team scored 116 runs in the first innings. England had a lead of 193 runs. He scored 255 runs in the second innings for two wickets. Captain Michael Atherton was dismissed after scoring 67 runs. Graham Gooch scored 29 runs. At that time Graeme Hick was playing on 98 and Graham Thorpe on 47. Captain Michael Atherton was looking to call Australia to bat as soon as possible, but Graeme Hick was batting slow. Even at one point England had scored only 36 runs in 80 minutes. Angered by this, Atherton declared the innings. Hick remained unbeaten on 98. This match ended in a draw. Hick did not speak to Atherton for a long time after the match.
