Star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was surprised by a delivery from West Indies skipper Kraigg Brathwaite during India’s first innings on Day 3 of the first Test. Jadeja immediately signalled towards the dressing room for a helmet after being beaten by the extra bounce.
India started Day 3 on 312/2 with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli at the crease. Yashasvi Jaiswal reached the milestone of 150 runs in his debut Test. However, the southpaw couldn’t convert it into a double hundred as he was dismissed for 171 runs by Alzarri Joseph.

Ajinkya Rahane walked in to bat at No. 5. Unfortunately, Rahane couldn’t make a significant contribution with the bat, as he was dismissed for three runs. The right-handed batsman was caught at covers while playing an uppish drive in Kemar Roach’s bowling.
Ravindra Jadeja Left Stunned
Kraigg Brathwaite delivered a surprising ball with an extra bounce, leaving Ravindra Jadeja stunned. This incident took place in the 137th over of India’s innings. Jadeja came forward to play the ball but was completely deceived by the unexpected amount of deviation.
The ball missed the outside edge of Jadeja, and wicketkeeper Joshua Da Silva collected it with outstretched arms. The southpaw, who was batting with a cap, immediately turned towards the dressing room and signalled for a helmet as a precautionary measure.
