IND vs AFG Live: Flying Ravindra Jadeja takes a stunning catch, third umpire gives Not-out! Check out
It was the second ball of the 19th over. M Shami bowled a slower ball outside off to Karim Janat who slogged it powerfully. However, the ball goes up swirling in the air over midwicket. Jadeja ran in a long way from the boundary, and he sprints there in super-quick time with a full-length dive to reach it in the end. The soft signal was given OUT but the replays show that he’s held on to the ball but brushed it into the ground upon landing.
Although it was a not-out, it’s a Ravindra Jadeja special! Check out –
