From what I can tell, Jadeja was in the groove with the bat and the hammy wasn't interfering with that, but would probably have prevented him from bowling. He carried on thumping fours to the boundary, seemingly unperturbed by the blow to the head, with no one on the field feeling it necessary to get a concussion check, so I suppose that Australia may feel that a diagnosis during the break had the potential to be a bit suss. If Jadeja had taken that blow to the head and then in the second innings pulled his hammy on the run up to the first ball of his first over, India would have had to find 4 overs from somewhere.
that being said, if a doctor diagnoses a suspected concussion injury then it has to be taken on trust. I suppose it serves to add more fuel to the whole substitute debate.
