India’s Ravindra Jadeja bagged a five-wicket haul in opposition to Australia in his comeback match through the first Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test in Nagpur on Thursday.

Jadeja, who got here on to bowl his eleventh over, scalped the wickets of Marnus Labuschagne and Matt Renshaw off consecutive deliveries to go away Australia reeling at 84-4.

Jadeja went on to pile additional distress on Australia as he dismissed Steve Smith for 37. He later added the wicket of debutant Todd Murphy earlier than Tea.

Jadeja claimed his fifth wicket – his eleventh Test five-for – when he trapped Peter Hanscomb leg earlier than on 31 because the batter missed a sweep shot.

The 34-year-old Jadeja had suffered a knee harm through the Asia Cup final yr and missed the ICC T20 World Cup as he underwent surgical procedure, which saved him out of the sport for 5 months.

Jadeja was drafted into the Saurashtra workforce within the Ranji Trophy match in opposition to Tamil Nadu in January to check his health forward of this sequence, the place he bagged a staggering seven for 53 runs within the second innings.
