However, the talk was more about Kohli's drop chance than Wade’s dismissal as the Indian captain had also spilled an easy catch in the T20I series opener.
During the mid-innings break, Jadeja commented on the drop catch, stating: "I am not worried about the Indian team but the baby arriving."
“Virat Kohli over the years we’ve seen he’s taken some exceptional catches. Today, I think he had time but he was off-balance when he was just about to catch it. And these things happen. When you start dropping them, even these dollies, then, the ball appears like a bomb coming towards you,” he further said on-air for the host broadcaster.
However, cricket fans on Twitter felt Ajay Jadeja’s baby joke on Kohli’s drop catch was not in a good taste.
Here’s how the fans reacted:
Virat Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma are expecting their first child in January. Therefore, the captain will go on paternity leave after the Test series opener in Adelaide.
