Watch: Brainfade from Jonny Bairstow as he gets bamboozled after a miscalculated leave off Ravindra Jadeja

Ravindra Jadeja hasn’t put a foot wrong in the ongoing first Test against England. The game between the two teams is taking place at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, which is host to an exciting game. 

England have put up a great fight in the second innings in Hyderabad. They have batted aggressively and have put India under pressure. However, the bowlers are slowly bringing the hosts back in the game and one vital contribution came from Ravindra Jadeja. 

Ravindra Jadeja sent Jonny Bairstow packing and it was a crucial blow for India. The batter was looking extremely good and looked solid at the cease. But his stay at the crease was cut short by the brilliance of India’s MVP in Jadeja. 

During the 4th ball of the 28th over, Ravindra Jadeja bowled an arm ball to which Jonny Bairstow got half-a-stride forward. He didn’t cover the off-stump and thought that the ball would spin away. However, the ball kept coming in and crashed into the off-stump. 

Ravindra Jadeja outfoxed Jonny Bairstow with the previous ball itself. That ball turned away sharply and the batter felt that the next one would turn as. The England batter was extremely shocked as the bails lit up and the India all-rounder was off his celebration.
