Replacing an all-rounder with a straight bowler seems to expose a faultI too thought it dodgy at the time but then, Chahal briefly referred post-match to Jadeja's 'wonky' walk, as did Kohli who added that his orientation even at the end of the game wasn't quite right. Apart from Indians being somewhat new to this concussion concept, there was the added factor of the ball not striking his helmet straight off the bowler but off his own bat; that I guess distracted the Indian team's medical support personnel.
in the current concussion. Interesting that Jadeja was able to continue batting and got a few 4s but symptoms developed during the break.
I suppose coaches will always push the laws and this was legal but is an issue that needs addressing and tightening.
I'll add that if Australia had done this I would have still posted that
it's dodgy .

Notwithstanding the foregoing, I don't quite like this business of concussion subs. If they do want to introduce substitutions, they should go the soccer way and allow two subs for whatever reason and at whatever stage. That won't be like any cricket I'm used to but then every sport has undergone changes and we can't be set in stone.

I understand that Jadeja wasn't tested for concussion by the team physio immediately after being hit, which surprised me.
compulsory for all international matches, but it seems not, at least in
the case of this series. If he continued batting while concussed, there
was a real risk that it might aggravate his condition or if his
reactions had been slowed cause him to be hit a second time.
