“This wasn’t a rank turner. Compared to other pitches, it was slow and had low bounce. I felt defending wasn’t difficult today, but as the game progresses, it [defending] will become difficult,” Jadeja said at the end of day’s play

Ravindra Jadeja insisted on Thursday that the Nagpur pitch is no “rank turner” as is being bandied around by some.
Jadeja took 5 for 47 on his international comeback with the prized scalps of Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith as Australia managed only 177 in their first innings on Day 1 of the first Test.
