Though his career is not on the much great swing, Ravindra Jadeja has been successful in reserving his seat from the past many months. As of now, this all-rounder is doing real good in the ongoing test series.
On one hand, Indian team is preparing its best to whitewash Sri Lankan team, here comes a fatal blow for the blue squad as the star-allrounder Ravindra Jadeja is set to miss the third test match on August 12th at Pallekele.
And this is when something surprising happened, startling everyone, ICC has unveiled certain norms and concluded that Jadeja will be suspended for the next match, this rarely known rule states that according to the ICC section he faced this backlash as his accumulated demerit points reached six within a 24-month period.
And, following his latest breach of the ICC Code of Conduct for which he received a 50% fine and three demerit points. On the top of that, he was found guilty of breaching article 2.2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct, this happened during the Colombo Test against Sri Lanka on Saturday.
Following this suspension, the six demerit points will remain on Jadeja’s disciplinary record. If Jadeja reaches the next threshold of eight or more demerit points within a 24-month period, then they will be converted into four suspension points deliberately.
This happened soon after skipper Virat Kohli has praised Jadeja for his tireless efforts in marching the team forward. It is quite saddening to see a good news and bad a bad news for the player at once.
However, though he remained silent in the beginning, a tweet from his account came all of the sudden bashing the ICC for its brutal take on him. It read: “Hum sharif kya hue puri duniya hi badmash ho gayi,” his post read, (which means: “The entire world has gone notorious when I decided to turn good.”

Well, the intentions of Jadeja are unknown as of now, but it actually looks bit funny and acceptable at anyway.
Now, India will take on Sri Lanka in the final Test match. The visitors will look to continue their winning run and leave the island nation by placing a whitewash over the Lankans. This victory will help India in clinching a rare landmark equalling Australia in winning nine straight test matches.
