Langer’s frustration is justified as according to the rules, Chahal can now bowl the 4 overs despite not being named in the playing XI. This can make a huge difference in the match as the leg-spinner is one of the most prolific T20I bowlers.BCCI informs about concussion substituteAs per the rules laid out by the International Cricket Council (ICC), a cricket team can opt for a like-to-like player as a concussion substitute in case a player suffers one. Thus, India went for Chahal as the replacement for Jadeja and the spinner will be eligible to bowl his full four overs while Jadeja continues to be assessed by the medical team.The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) also informed about this concussion replacement via their official Twitter handle, “Ravindra Jadeja was hit on the helmet in the final over of the first innings of the first T20I. Yuzvendra Chahal will take the field in the 2nd innings as a concussion substitute. Jadeja is currently being assessed by the BCCI Medical Team,” BCCI tweeted.Notably, Jadeja had slammed 44 runs off 23 deliveries at a strike rate of 191.3. His knock included 5 boundaries and 1 maximum.“It’s white and gold”
