Team India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was seen having a chat with England captain Ben Stokes about him potentially landing on the danger area of the pitch on day two of the second Test at Edgbaston. With Stokes seemingly alleging Jadeja of landing on the danger area deliberately, the Saurashtra all-rounder told, ‘Why would I do that? My focus is on batting.’
The moment occurred after the 89th over of the innings sent down by Chris Woakes and Stokes was coming in to bowl next. Before starting the over, the seam-bowling all-rounder was seen complaining to umpire Chris Gaffaney about Jadeja’s landing leaving some footmarks on the pitch. Gaffaney had a chat with Jadeja, who later told Stokes, ‘Why would I do that? My focus is on batting?’
