'Don't know where it comes from..': Ravindra Jadeja snubbed umpire at Lord's, claims commentators post match
Ravindra Jadeja The third Test between India and England was full of dramas, tensions and aggression both on and off the field. The five days Test between the two teams was a very high-profile game, with both sides performing at their best. Despite this England secured a thrilling 22 runs victory over India at Lord's. The slow over rates have been a major story behind the Lord's Test and throughout the series. In the third Test, there were multiple interruptions again and again as the umpires would call for delays based on the state of the ball or individual players. Michael Atherton on Jadeja ignoring umpires at Lord's Former England batter Michael Atherton has highlighted concerns around the 'authority' of the umpire being challenged, highlighting an incident off-camera with India's Ravindra Jadeja as an alarming example. Atherton pointed at the current issuethe current issue of over-rates and if the on-field officials are now getting sidelined in important moments and losing the capability to manage players' behaviour. 'The focus is more on the umpires than the players, for the umpires to just get a grip. I don't know where the diminishing of umpires' authority comes from. Maybe it's the post-DRS thing,' Atherton, who is also a part of the broadcast team, told Sky Sports Cricket. 'Pre-DRS, the umpires were almost omnipotent. Since DRS, maybe that authority has just withered away. There was one point where Jaddu was having a drink, and the umpire was pointing towards the watch and was telling him to get on with it. And he just completely ignored him!' said Atherton 'So I think there's room for the game to be sped up a bit, without compromising the quality.' Atherton added It's unclear whether Atherton was talking about the first or second innings, but Jadeja contributed considerably for the bat during the Lord's Test where his unbeaten 61 contributed significantly to bring the end of the third Test to an exciting conclusion when he managed to get India moving in its fightback while he was batting with the tail in its chase of 193 runs. Do-or-Die Tests awaits for India in Manchester Coming to the match India was chasing down the target of 193 runs in a unstable situation at 71/5. Jadeja played a calm and composed knock and built a couple of partnerships with Nitish Kumar Reddy and Jasprit Bumrah, which kept India's hopes alive. Eventually, he also took the responsibility to score runs alongside No. 11 Mohammed Siraj, but sadly Siraj walked out too soon and India had to suffer a heartbreaking defeat. Shubman Gill-led India now must win the fouth Test match in Manchester to keep their series win hopes alive with England leading the five Test series 2-1. Team India had its first training session in Manchester on Thursday.

Ravindra Jadeja Accused Of 'Ignoring' Umpire During Lord's Test In Explosive Remark
Former England cricket team skipper Michael Atherton accused Ravindra Jadeja of ignoring the on-field umpire during the Lord's Test against England. Atherton pointed out the diminishing 'authority' of the umpires in modern cricket and cited the incident involving Jadeja as a concerning example. Atheron said that there was a point in the game when Jadeja was having a drink and although the umpire gestured towards him to continue play, he allegedly ignored his instruction. However, Atherton did not clearly state at what point of the match did the incident take place during the encounter. 'The focus is more on the umpires than the players, for the umpires to just get a grip. I don't know where the diminishing of umpires' authority comes from. Maybe it's the post-DRS thing,' Atherton, who is also a part of the broadcast team, told Sky Sports Cricket. "Pre-DRS, the umpires were almost omnipotent. Since DRS, maybe that authority has just withered away. There was one point where Jaddu was having a drink, and the umpire was pointing towards the watch and was telling him to get on with it. And he just completely ignored him!" 'So I think there's room for the game to be sped up a bit, without compromising the quality.' There were multiple incidents during the Lord's Test that raised questions over the umpires' authority. The encounter was filled with instances of players sledging the batter with the spat between Shubman Gill and Zak Crawley grabbing the headlines. The umpires also came under the scanner for slow over rates for both teams as ex-cricketers urged the officials to step in and take charge of the situation. Maintaining a slow over-rate during their pulsating 22-run win over India in the Test cost England two points from their World Test Championship (WTC) tally and 10 per cent fine of their match fee. A statement from the International Cricket Council (ICC) said as per Article 16.11.2 of the WTC playing conditions, a side is penalised one point for each over short, and after time allowances were taken into consideration.

Ravindra Jadeja ‘completely ignored' umpire at Lord's, reveals commentator after match: ‘Don't know where it comes from'
The third Test between India and England had it all: tension, aggression, and drama, both on and off the field. Five days of tightly contested cricket saw a fitting end with the hosts clinching a dramatic 22-run win at Lord's. One of the major subplots, not just during the Lord's Test but the series overall, however, has been the issue surrounding slow over rates. The third Test, in particular, saw delays in play on multiple occasions due to concerns surrounding the quality of the ball or individual-related breaks. London: India's Ravindra Jadeja reacts during the fifth day of the third test cricket match between India and England(PTI) Former England batter Michael Atherton has also voiced concerns surrounding the 'authority' of the umpire coming into question, pointing to an off-camera incident involving India's Ravindra Jadeja as a troubling example. Citing the ongoing over-rate controversy, Atherton questioned whether on-field officials are now being sidelined in key moments and losing control over players' conduct. 'The focus is more on the umpires than the players, for the umpires to just get a grip. I don't know where the diminishing of umpires' authority comes from. Maybe it's the post-DRS thing,' Atherton, who is also a part of the broadcast team, told Sky Sports Cricket. "Pre-DRS, the umpires were almost omnipotent. Since DRS, maybe that authority has just withered away. There was one point where Jaddu was having a drink, and the umpire was pointing towards the watch and was telling him to get on with it. And he just completely ignored him! 'So I think there's room for the game to be sped up a bit, without compromising the quality.' It is unclear whether Atherton spoke about the first or the second innings; Jadeja, however, played a key role with the bat for India in the Lord's Test. It was thanks to Jadeja that the third Test saw a dramatic finish, with the all-rounder staying unbeaten on 61 and leading India's fight alongside tailenders in the 193-run chase. Taking the crease with India reeling at 71/5 in the chase, Jadeja forged gritty stands with Nitish Kumar Reddy and Jasprit Bumrah to keep the Indian hopes alive. He also took charge of the run-scoring with India's No. 11, Mohammed Siraj, but the latter's unfortunate dismissal led to the visitors' heartbreaking defeat. Fourth Test begins July 23 With England taking a 2-1 lead in the five-Test series, Shubman Gill's men face a must-win situation to keep their chances of a series win alive. Team India took part in its first training session in Manchester on Thursday.
