On a turning track, more often than not it is the straighter one that fetches you a wicket; and who better than Ravindra Jadeja to exploit that.

While Lyon was turning the ball left, right and centre, and Ashwin kept prodding away with this outside the leg stump line to the left handers, Jadeja in his ever so effortless manner, kept attacking the stumps, and was rewarded for his consistency.
The cricketing fraternity had expected Ashwin to be a menace on this track but somehow he just couldn’t get a lot of purchase from the wicket. But when Batman has an off day, Robin comes to the rescue. Slowly but surely, Jaddu is turning into a left handed Kumble that India so desperately needs.
This is how Twitteratti reacted to this amazing bowling performance from Ravindra Jadeja:

6 wickets for Jadeja.
Really poor from Kohli though, apparently Jadeja bowled the least overs yesterday. #INDvsAUS

Yassss Jadeja. Never off the game. Started with that catch and then shifted his prowess to taking wickets. #INDvAUS

By underbowling Jadeja yesterday, Kohli's put Aus in a winning position. Not brilliant captaincy #IndiavsAustralia
