India National Cricket Team all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is having a great time in the ongoing game against Australia National Cricket Team. The semifinal 1 of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is taking place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.
Ravindra Jadeja has been top-notch with the ball in the ongoing game against Australia. The all-rounder has bowled tight lines and lengths and hasn't allowed the opposition batters to score freely on a pitch that is offering great help to spinners.
While his bowling has been right on the money, Ravindra Jadeja also came up with hilarious antics during the match. He also involved Australia National Cricket Team batter Marnus Labuschagne along with him and the moment went viral, leaving many in splits.
Ravindra Jadeja bowled a delivery to Steve Smith, who played the straight drive towards the non-striker. The bowler stuck his right foot out, and it hit the bat of Marnus Labuschagne and ricocheted to mid-wicket, and the Australia skipper called for a single.
The India National Cricket Team all-rounder, however, stopped Marnus Labuschagne, who was at the bowling end, from taking a single and this made Smith unhappy. Ravindra Jadeja held Australian batter and didn't allow him to go for a run. Both the players shared a hug in the end as the comical moment went viral on the internet.
