Watch: Ravindra Jadeja nearly suffers freak injury, collapses while appealing in Ahmedabad Test vs West Indies

Cricket, like many sports, often surprises fans with its unpredictable moments, and unexpected on-field incidents add a humorous touch. One such amusing event occurred during the first Test match between India and the West Indies at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Day 3 (Saturday, October 4).

Mohammed Siraj provided an early wicket for his team by dismissing Tagenarine Chanderpaul in the eighth over of the West Indies’ second innings. All-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy took a stunning catch at square leg. Chanderpaul, who was out for a duck in the first innings, scored eight runs off 23 balls.

Jadeja put extra effort into both the delivery and the appeal, but the umpire ruled in the West Indies batsman’s favor. Indian skipper Shubman Gill decided not to take a review after consulting with teammates. Fans responded with hilarious reactions on social media after the video went viral.

Ravindra Jadeja Has Been leading wicket-taker for India in the Second Innings

India’s bowlers dominated the first Test against the West Indies, putting the hosts in control. At the time of writing, the visitors were struggling at 98/6 after 36 overs, with Khary Pierre and Justin Greaves at the crease.

Ravindra Jadeja led India’s attack with three wickets, while Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, and Washington Sundar claimed one wicket each. India may win by an innings, as they are unlikely to bat in the second innings.

This strong showing follows India’s 2-2 draw in the Anderson-Tendulkar 2025 Trophy and will add valuable points to their ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 campaign.
