Ravindra Jadeja, Indian all-rounder, has been ruled out of the remaining T20I matches in the ongoing series against Australia.  

Jadeja had been the hero of India’s win in the first match in Canberra, as he struck a quickfire 44* to help India make 161/7 in 20 overs.  

However, during the innings, he was hit on the helmet by a Mitchell Starc delivery and was subbed out by Yuzvendra Chahal, after the Indian team’s medical staff deemed that he showed signs of delayed concussion.
