ICC match referee Andy Pycroft has been informed by the Team India management that Jadeja was using pain-relieving cream on the index finger of his bowling hand in a video clip that went viral on social media after the first day of the Nagpur Test. In the video footage, Jadeja is seen taking out some substance from the back of Mohammed Siraj’s palm with his right hand. Jadeja was then seen rubbing the substance on the index finger of his left hand.

Nowhere in the footage is Jadeja seen rubbing anything on the ball. Although the ball was in his hand at that time. The ICC has banned the use of any substance, even saliva, to shine the ball. The incident happened when Australia were at 120/5, by which time Jadeja had already dismissed Marnus Labuschagne, Matt Renshaw and Steven Smith.
