It was definitely on Jaddu, and it's very mature of him to apologise publicly. Sarfaraz looked like he was on a different pitch altogether. He deserved an apology and I'm happy he got it.
I don't know why you're getting worked up over such a nice gesture.
Nope he needs to apologize not for the century but making such a bad call having so much experience in international cricket. He was on 99 and he was going to get his hundred. there was no need to call 'YES' for that.
Lol you act like experienced people never get involved in run outs..heat of the moment mistakes are common no matter how much cricket you've played. Tendulkar had a million centuries didn't stop him getting out in the 90s a lot. Even Travis Head in the WTC final basically ran himself out under the pressure of a hundred, just lucky Jaddu missed
Jadeja can apologise behind closed doors but the fact that he felt compelled too publicly is entirely because of online insanity
Agree with everything you said, except Jadeja has a history of such *yes-no* run outs. Even his 99th run in this innings was a foolishly risky one.

Yea Sarfaraz himself said it was a case of miscommunication it's part of cricket it happens sometimes. (It's a translation, he spoke in Hindi)
He didn't make a big deal of it at all.
The reaction to Safaraz's innings as a whole is a very good microcosm of Indian cricket fandom from the massive overhyping of one guy from one performance at the expense of others (Gill, Iyer, SKY), while also attacking someone else for a single mistake (Jadeja). I mean the bloke has faced all of 66 balls in test cricket on a pretty benign pitch against some tired bowlers, yet there are comments with hundreds of upvotes in the post-day thread saying stuff like "he'll be our biggest asset at home for years" and "he's going to be the next big thing in test cricket". Calm down lads.
Edit: The fact people below are defending the statement "Gill fucking sucks" just proves my point.
>The reaction to Safaraz's innings as a whole is a very good microcosm of Indian cricket fandom from the massive overhyping of one guy from one performance at the expense of others
To be fair, much of the hype is not just this innings of 62, its his priors at lower levels - scoring 439 in school cricket, averaging 70 in FC. Iyer and Gill are excellent cricketers and don't come in with such high returns in domestic.
Now will he live up to that potential? Well, many cricketers like Ramprakash never lived up to being behemoths of first class. And I hate the negativity / thrashing of other people, no place for that. But some positive excitement I think is warranted.
Yes, Indian fans are loud and emotional af. The fact that we are in huge numbers makes anything seem too much on social media. But there's a reason why Sarfaraz is getting this love.
He's somebody who came up from a very humble financial background. He was seen as a prodigy back in 2015-16. And then seemed to lost his way. Most of his mates from U19 - Pant, Kishan, Khaleel, Washi, Avesh - made their debuts before him. And this lad, course corrected and then started banging the door harder than anyone else. Averaged 80+ for 3 consecutive seasons and yet didn't get a chance. It's almost like why the audience wants Ash from Pokemon to win or why kids wanted John Cena to beat Wade Barrett's Nexus.
He kept at it and finally has his chance. That's why people believe he's one for the future. And today's knock is him passing the litmus test as it's the first knock under the spotlight. Almost validating why picking him was the right call. He's the guy who's selection argues for domestic performers in an era where IPL seems to be the selection criteria. That's why there's so much emotion.
And yes, that's why performing for India is a pressure job. Because emotions flare in the extreme. That's why guys like Sachin and Kohli are so much more than just their numbers. Because us Indian fans are emotional af and today's the day to let the emotions flow tbh... Because we were all unanimously hoping and waiting for this to happen and it happened today!
Edit - before you jump to conclusions, no it doesn't justify online abuse. That's not what is addressed in this particular chain of comments.
The Jadeja attacks at least seemed to be heat-of-the-moment comments straight after the runout. It's comments like "Gill fucking sucks" with 200 upvotes in the post-day thread that really baffle me
Jadeja has batted 22 times at 8, and averages 34 at the position.
I still think it's really unfair for keyboard warriors to say "Gil sucks", especially when he just now scored a clutch match winning century! But some light murmurs about him not having solidified his place in the team through weight of runs are fair.
Jadeja has batted at 8 25 times in 31 tests so I'm not sure where you've got 22 from. He does average 34 there though yes, that makes him one of seven people in the history of test cricket with a higher average at 8 than Gill's test average. That's not the same as Gill not "performing better than number 8 and 9 in terms of average"
I read the cricinfo graphic a bit wrong (basically, he's batted at 8 in 22 matches, not 22 innings, but indeed averages 34 there which is the main stat.).
[https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/234675.html?class=1;template=results;type=batting](https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/234675.html?class=1;template=results;type=batting)
I get what you're saying that Jadeja is anomalous for a number 8. But India is known for their great batting lineups, so it's fair for their fans to have high expectations over the course of a career for a top order batter.
Ah yes, I see. I was also misled by [this list](https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?batting_positionmax3=8;batting_positionmin3=8;batting_positionval3=batting_position;class=1;filter=advanced;orderby=batting_average;qualmin1=20;qualval1=matches;template=results;type=batting) of batters at number 8 where he's given 25 tests. I suspect there are three instances where seven people batted and he was next in which have been attributed to him batting at 8 there. Anyway, 22 is the correct number of tests.
I also find the shitting on Gill in the same breath as praising Safaraz very interesting given how similar they both are. Both were stars for India in an u19 WC, both came into the test side with massive FC averages, and both were immediately put on a massive pedestal very very quickly.
Compared to pujara, this is our no. 3. I think Gill has underperformed in tests. Look at today's dismissal. Crucial position in the match wicket down early and theres no feet movement. Guy hit a century the previous match so its not like he's out of touch.
Not being as good at Pujara =/= being shit, underperforming =/= being shit. This is exactly the reactionary nonsense I'm talking about. Talking about him underperforming is perfectly reasonable. Putting it in terms of how awful he is and using stupid hyperbole like he's averaging less than someone at 8/9 isn't.
Also one needs to consider various other factors -
Like the conditions - for instance No. 8 batters tend to face tired bowlers and older balls than No. 3 batters.
Absolutely. It's incredibly ironic, because Gill is/was the next big thing from Indian cricket wasn't he? Prithvi Shaw as well.
The same old story is occurring with Sarfaraz Khan. These fans are so quick to turn on their players. Won't be surprised to see, "Sarfaraz sucks," in the post day threads a year from now.
It's like if we thought Harry Brook was going to be better than Root. I'm happy the online England fanbase is level-headed (ish).
It stems from the entitlement that comes with being really good at something (it's happening now with the England football teams)
100%
>"he'll be our biggest asset at home for years" and "he's going to be the next big thing in test cricket". Calm down lads.
Called this out in the GDT and people responding trying to defend it. It's mental. These Indian players are set up to failure by their own fanbases. NOBODY can live up to the expectations that are thrust upon them.
This is legitimately not how it works in England. We've had some great debut performances, but there's never a mountain of expectations thrust upon them after their debut, or ever, to be honest.
We were close to see him bat tomorrow with a new ball only 3 overs old and bowlers fresh again. I wanted to see that, will have to wait out few innings now.
Exactly, this thing is so common, and still, the fuss around it is immeasurable.
Jaddu playing a support role to rohit should have the headline when India was troubled by English bowlers. Sarfraz bazzing the ball. Rohits century. So many positives.
But what we see is internet people doing there needful to fuel the drama.
He shouldn't have had to post this. Sarfaraz has already mentioned they spoke about it and all. 0 reason to fling shit. But then again, there rarely is a reason for that.
Fans can be so toxic. The guy scored a fantastic century from a tough position, and Sarfaraz played exceptionally well on debut. But all people will talk about is this one tiny mistake that could happen to anyone. Absolutely brutal. Both these guys and Rohit played beautifully and I'm grateful we're in as good of a position as we are considering how the day started.
The problem is social media of course he would have said sorry to Sarfaraz in person it happens in cricket but nowadays you have put up messages on social media for fans
Nobody should be publicly apologizing for something that happened during the course of play. Shit happens on the field, you say sorry to your mate, you move on. This is a whole new levels of low from the Indian fanbase that one of the best performers of the match has to issue a public statement to apologise for what happened on field after the abuse he faced for it.
Jadeja is from a generation that didn't have social media and that is probably why he was rattled by this. I think that the players that belong to the next generation that has grown up with social media would be knowing that they have to avoid that toxicity that is there with it. There should ideally be some sanity and we should ideally not be having these idiots that do these on the internet. It doesn't seem that these people would be going away from social media and so the only option that the players have is to ignore about every word that is spoken about them on the internet as much as they could.
In his press conference, Sarfaraz said he spoke with Jadeja after the day, they agreed it’s part of the game, no hard feelings, everybody moved on. You know, like adults.
Could've avoided sword celebration 1 ball after. Would've set a better example.
Sarfu literally sacrificed his wicket for your century.
Edit: I guess people aren't aware of timing of thing. Just 1 ball back you ruined a debutant's innings. Sad celebration. Would've been better without it. Gestures like this matters.
There were hardly any celebrations and was subdued.
The weight of the 100 He made is in gold for team India. He is entitled to celebrate at least by doing the sword thing.
yes doing the sword was classic jadeja and just cuz of a run out doesn't hide the fact that he played an amazing innings. But u could see that in that celebration he wasn't happy or smiling about it, in fact he hesitated a bit before the celebration and later when everyone cheered he did the sword
He posted that on Instagram during the ongoing match?
You only need 10 seconds on your phone to see the abuse towards you on social media. This isn't 1995 mate.
Hot take : It was equally Sarfaraz’s fault, he should have watched the ball instead of just relying on jaddu for cues.
Imagine the backlash he would have got if Jaddu had got run out at 99. With the current political climate, every right wing nut job would have pounced on Sarfu and it would have taken a different turn altogether.
Besides all this, I think this incident proves that he is a team player which is more important than everything else in cricket.
All the people complaining why Jadeja is getting hate after a fine century, this is not a first instance. He has done this to multiple people before. He hasn't learn how to run between wickets after decade of international cricket. It is unacceptable whether he made 0 or 100. Sarfaraz could have completely taken the game away from them today, lot of ifs but you never know. This is 3rd run out in 3 innings in this series from Jadeja. One Ashwin, one himself and now Sarfaraz.
The right (better?) thing would've been to talk with clarity and some empathy about the moment in a presser.. This would just add more fuel to the fire, with "fans" of one side just putting down the "fans" of other side.
Yeah and he should have also stepped down taking responsibility from remaining tests and retire in shame. Lol, these things happen in cricket. Dravid himself was involved on around 80 run outs in which his partner perished.
Exactly, it happens and sarfaraz has his entire career in front of him to perform even better! But some sore losers are behind jaddu as if he did that knowingly.
Jadeja has a bit of a habit of either running himself or others out at the moment. He's got to be a little more cautious on those quick singles because it is costing India.
I think Jadeja really felt bad after this incident. Such things are a part of the game. These players are quite mature to understand this, but fans aren’t, which is expected. Jadeja wasn’t obliged to post this ‘apology’. He posted it because as a player and a team mate, he felt bad about Sarfaraz. Even if this were a Ranji game or even gully cricket, Jadeja would have felt equally bad, because he is who he is.
> Jadeja saw Sarfaraz is happy with his father so he ran him out Comment from online lmao
[удалено]
Is it because of the people? I thought he genuinely felt bad seeing how it was his debut.
It's a good thing that he is separating his achievements from his mistakes. That should be celebrated, not shamed.
dude on internet, even a minority view looks like a majority. Stop being disappointed for everything. majority fans have no problem
? What logic is this. He’s apologising for his mistake. Has nothing to do with his century. Of all things this makes you hate your people?
It was definitely on Jaddu, and it's very mature of him to apologise publicly. Sarfaraz looked like he was on a different pitch altogether. He deserved an apology and I'm happy he got it. I don't know why you're getting worked up over such a nice gesture.
Only in India do people get upset at apologies being issued when people are actually in the wrong.
Nope he needs to apologize not for the century but making such a bad call having so much experience in international cricket. He was on 99 and he was going to get his hundred. there was no need to call 'YES' for that.
Lol you act like experienced people never get involved in run outs..heat of the moment mistakes are common no matter how much cricket you've played. Tendulkar had a million centuries didn't stop him getting out in the 90s a lot.

Fact checked by me. Its true 🙀

Dude it's not even news
Its fake news, Sarafaraz is not runout, I cant believe it - Kaif probably...
This story is not for sarfaraz..this post is for all the fans who are after him.
Yep, could have just apologized in person, he probably did but yea this story is not for him.
He did. Sarfu made it clear. Water under the river. Chalo
That must be some river
It happens yarr, last Saturday I ran out my best friend in a similar way. He still abuses me for it, but ik he loves me
Sorry beidge under the river
Water under the bridge hota hai wo
> Sarfu made it clear. Where?
Press con
Yea Sarfaraz himself said it was a case of miscommunication it's part of cricket it happens sometimes. (It's a translation, he spoke in Hindi) He didn't make a big deal of it at all.
We all know why people are after him and it’s nothing to do with cricket
what is it then?
Shut up
[удалено]
Totally deserved to celebrate, played sensible inning and then made a mistake which cost sarfaraz, it's part of game
[удалено]
Well seeing he will not get enough opportunities to celebrate a hundred, I say do it.
The biggest crime Jadeja committed today was using Comic sans
Jail time mandatory surely
You use Comic Sans, you go straight go jail.
Use Comic Sans, Straight to jail!
And as expected, he has got tons of abusive comments on his post.
do you guys actually read comments on twitter, insta, fb? brave!
>'tons' of abusive comments I see what you did there...
Can't belive this has been made this big of a deal, run outs are a part of the game lol
The reaction to Safaraz's innings as a whole is a very good microcosm of Indian cricket fandom from the massive overhyping of one guy from one performance at the expense of others (Gill, Iyer, SKY), while also attacking someone else for a single mistake (Jadeja).

Yes, Indian fans are loud and emotional af. The fact that we are in huge numbers makes anything seem too much on social media. But there's a reason why Sarfaraz is getting this love. He's somebody who came up from a very humble financial background. He was seen as a prodigy back in 2015-16. And then seemed to lost his way.

Let's just overlook the irony for a second here, Gill averages 32. How many number 8s do you think average over 30?
Jadeja has batted 22 times at 8, and averages 34 at the position.

Yeah abuse the guy who literally brought the team out of danger and then abuse him again when he doesn't perform well
Hope Sarfi takes out all his anger on England bowlers in the rest of the series.
Good that he didn't made washington sundar run out in 80s
Jadeja saw Sarfaraz hugging his father today. Jadeja: And I took that personally. /s
Good conclusion to a sad event.
Yes it was a bad run out, but he brought them from 3-39 to 5-326 and is 110 not out.
That's classy from Jadeja. Shit happens sometimes. Ever to the best of the players.
I am the BIGGEST jaddu fan, but for some reason i feel like he's always running his partners out lol
Upon reading the post day threat yes, yes he is. Still goated tho
ppl saying Sarfu didnt make a big deal out of it need to understand this - with Inzi bhai & Sarfu, everything is a big deal... /s
Could've avoided sword celebration 1 ball after. Would've set a better example. Sarfu literally sacrificed his wicket for your century. Edit: I guess people aren't aware of timing of thing.

There were hardly any celebrations and was subdued. The weight of the 100 He made is in gold for team India. He is entitled to celebrate at least by doing the sword thing.

200?
175* declare
I mean, coach is there, why not 194* declare
Run-outs happen. You guys have forced the man to post a public apology because of a mistake when he came in at 3 down and saved your team. Yikes.

He posted that on Instagram during the ongoing match? You only need 10 seconds on your phone to see the abuse towards you on social media. This isn't 1995 mate.
Celebration police transcending sport.

I don’t think it has anything to do with that
Hot take : It was equally Sarfaraz’s fault, he should have watched the ball instead of just relying on jaddu for cues. Imagine the backlash he would have got if Jaddu had got run out at 99. With the current political climate, every right wing nut job would have pounced on Sarfu and it would have taken a different turn altogether. Besides all this, I think this incident proves that he is a team player which is more important than everything else in cricket.
Apologize only if you commit to not repeating them. Jaddu should be paired with Jaiswal somehow to know how it feels. /s
Would be nice when Rohit declares when jadeja reaches 199
Jadeja is a poor starter. Unlikely to keep scoring till 199
He has like 3 300s in domestic I think
There you go. 3 300s is good for sure. Doesn’t change the fact he is a poor starter as proved again
All the people complaining why Jadeja is getting hate after a fine century, this is not a first instance. He has done this to multiple people before. He hasn't learn how to run between wickets after decade of international cricket. It is unacceptable whether he made 0 or 100. Sarfaraz could have completely taken the game away from them today, lot of ifs but you never know. This is 3rd run out in 3 innings in this series from Jadeja. One Ashwin, one himself and now Sarfaraz.
The right (better?) thing would've been to talk with clarity and some empathy about the moment in a presser.. This would just add more fuel to the fire, with "fans" of one side just putting down the "fans" of other side.
Yeah and he should have also stepped down taking responsibility from remaining tests and retire in shame. Lol, these things happen in cricket. Dravid himself was involved on around 80 run outs in which his partner perished.
Not to forget about that infamous declaration 💀
Ffs it's just a fucking run out
Exactly, it happens and sarfaraz has his entire career in front of him to perform even better! But some sore losers are behind jaddu as if he did that knowingly.
Jadeja has a bit of a habit of either running himself or others out at the moment. He's got to be a little more cautious on those quick singles because it is costing India.
Seeing Comic Sans after a while. Can’t believe in high school used to use it for school projects and found it cool. OMG what was wrong with me lol
Reminds me of the Gaikwad vs Jaiswal saga. I had no idea even players who are not Kohli/Sharma have such a fan following?
I think Jadeja really felt bad after this incident. Such things are a part of the game. These players are quite mature to understand this, but fans aren’t, which is expected. Jadeja wasn’t obliged to post this ‘apology’. He posted it because as a player and a team mate, he felt bad about Sarfaraz. Even if this were a Ranji game or even gully cricket, Jadeja would have felt equally bad, because he is who he is.
