How Jadeja’s ‘home advantage’ hit the right spot

Ravindra Jadeja’s familiarity with the Chennai wicket proved to be a potent weapon as he helped halt Australia’s progress in the World Cup opener. His 3-28 included the dismissal of Steve Smith with a delivery that turned sharply, and he also claimed the wickets of Marnus Labuschagne and Alex Carey. Jadeja’s simplicity and ability to hit the right spot consistently make him a formidable bowler.
