Then it was published in the newspapers that Ajay Jadeja had killed two people during India's shameful defeat. Although Jadeja scored 100, but could not save India from being out of the tournament. India got a big target of 282 runs against Australia and when Jadeja came to bat, the score was 10/2. Even Jadeja's 100 did not save India and they lost by 77 runs. Two pigeons died during Jadeja's innings. The first one died after being hit in the air by Jadeja's hook, while the second one fell victim to Paul Reiffel's throw. While trying to run out Jadeja, he threw the ball on the stump and the ball hit the pigeon. Two pigeons lost their lives in this Indian defeat.
