The onfield umpires, to whom the thick edge off Cooper Conolly was inaudible, suddenly became proactive on the field. Firstly, they approached Shubhman Gill, asking him not to throw away the ball immediately after completing the catch, so that the umpires could make sure if the catch was in control or not. Gill seemed to have heard with the utmost attention. The interaction happened when Gill took a stunning catch off Varun Chakravarthy, who dismissed the dangerous Travis Head. However, this is not unusual or abnormal of fielders not following "hold-the-pose attitude" like the batters. And then they went to Ravindra Jadeja to take off the tape. Umpire told Ravindra Jadeja to remove the tape from his bowling hands. pic.twitter.com/Q8wQTeDygQ — Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra) March 4, 2025 Jadeja had taped his bowling palm, which triggered the umpires. They approached him and had a small chat until Jajeda took off his tape. It was in around the 19th over, and after a ball or two, he had to dive towards his left to field a ball of his own and got his palm scratched and blood oozed out. He completed the rest of the over, and blood came out more. However, Jadeja decided to have some fun. He went to the umpires and showed his palm, gesturing in a way, "Look, this is why I tape my palms!"

In the 23rd over, Ravindra Jadeja came with his palm rightly taped, and after a moment of drama with Marnus Labuschagne, he bagged him as his first for the day. Jadeja fires the ball in with his usual wicket-to-wicket accuracy. Labuschagne moves back, attempting to nudge it towards the on-side but completely misses. The ball strikes him on the pads, and the appeal goes up. Ball-tracking confirms an umpire’s call on the leg stump, meaning Labuschagne would have been out even if he had reviewed it. Prior to that, in the 21st over, he had to tackle Labuschagne at the non-striker's ends, as he was trying to nick off the ball with his bat. Jadeja tried to kick the ball out of Labuschagne's bat's reach but ultimately engaged himself in a fun clash with the batter hugging him from behind. However, that left the captain, Steve Smith, unhappy and was seen complaining. Jadeja later claimed Josh Inglish too with a short-of-length ball in the final ball of the 27th over.
