New Delhi. The first Test between India and South Africa has started. The first match is being played at Centurion Park in South Africa. Temba Bavuma has decided to bowl after winning the toss. The famous fast bowler Krishna has got an opportunity in the first Test. At the same time, Test cricket expert all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is not part of this match. He has not been included in the playing eleven. Let’s find out what is the reason behind this.
Rohit Sharma explained during the toss why Jadeja is not playing in the first Test. Rohit said, “Ashwin is playing in place of Jadeja. There was some spasm in the back of the jaw. So Ashwin has been included in his place. Ashwin is a good spinner. Apart from this, fast bowlers Shardul Thakur, Mohammad Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah are also playing. The famous Krishna is starting it.
