Twitter reacts to cheeky India ‘playing it smart’ to replace Jadeja with Chahal post former’s injury
Virat Kohli and a billion other Indian fans feared the worst after Ravindra Jadeja pulled his hamstring whilst batting, but the southpaw also getting a knock on his head meant that the visitors found a way out. India roped in Chahal as a concussion substitute, and the change left the Aussies fuming.
He was seriously p*ssed offfff...
He's pissed! Langer is pissed. Can't blame anyone though 🤷♂️#AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/NxeAH9fZ46

AUS Coach Langer 😂not happy as he says 1) Jaddu was injured leg before itself
2) No Physio checked him after head injury pic.twitter.com/q96h0TTXqk
Concussion for Jadeja!!
So this concussion substitution was pissing off the Australian coach, Probably because Jadeja batted throughout the over after getting hit on the head, Most importantly Chahal is going to bowl, Very well for India.#AUSvIND https://t.co/1cuMFj8Ofu

Chahal replaced as a concussion!
Hope Jadeja recovers asap, but from a team India perspective, the concussion sub thing has worked out well. Chahal has replaced him in the bowling innings after Jadeja took a blow to his head. #AUSvIND

Langer is angry!!
Okay!! Its clear, Chahal is allowed to bowl as concussion substitue for Jadeja. Boon(Referee) & Langer had a dicussion & Langer is not happy with it. #AUSvsIND https://t.co/C5gL9gnDPE pic.twitter.com/NLttGb3ek0
