Watch: Ravindra Jadeja's mystery ball leaves Virat Kohli & co in splits

Pune: India spinner Ravindra Jadeja is generally very consistent with his line and length, but he can get it miserably wrong on certain occasions.

India found themselves in a spot of bother in the first and the second sessions of the first day, as Australia raced off to 144 for two.

Jadeja, who was trying to bowl a tight line and length at that time, in order to stifle the runs, bowled one delivery that baffled one and all – and not in a good way.

The ball seems to have slipped out of his hand, and taken a couple of drops. Peter Handscomb drove hard at the ball, which went past the edge of his bat after the second drop.

Wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha and Ajinkya Rahane at first slip went up in appeal instantly, but then realised that the ball did not nick the edge of Handscomb's bat.

Everyone on the field, including Handscomb, Rahane, Jadeja, and even India skipper Virat Kohli saw the funny side of this.
