According to a well-placed source of The Telegraph, who witnessed a “showdown” at a popular pub, Tequila Joe’s, Jadeja wasn’t left to fend for himself when a group of drunk fans of Indian origin went after him.

Over, now, to the eyewitness...

“It was around 9.30, many hours after India’s exit from the World Twenty20, that six or so cricketers turned up at one of the Rodney Bay Marina’s most sought-after addresses.

“Tequila’s was already packed with cricket fans, many of whom came from other parts of the West Indies and North America. They’d been drowning their sorrows and, on seeing the Indian players, got really agitated.

“About four of them almost charged at Jadeja (top villain in the first two Super Eights matches) and held him responsible for India’s ouster. They were abusive with a capital A, leaving Jadeja stunned.
