"In the first innings when he came in at No. 6 and Jadeja was sent in at No. 5, we genuinely thought that Rahane was not ready to walk in due to some reason like a toilet break. It has happened in the past too. But this has happened again. It proves it was part of the team strategy," said former India opener and captain Sunil Gavaskar.

The decision allowed Ajinkya Rahane some protection against new ball on Saturday evening - late third day's play.

He survived a leg-before wicket decision on review but was soon dismissed again as he played across the line to a delivery that came in and hit his pads.
