Of late, it seems like Ravindra Jadeja is having a great time on the field. On the other day, he outsmarted Virat Kohli in an on-field run chase, and now, he outclassed MS Dhoni by committing everyone to take the review. Eventually, it paid off for team India, who got the danger man, Shimron Hetmyer.
The incident took place on the last ball of the 16th over when Ravindra Jadeja bowled his stock ball at a nice pace. It got better off Shimron Hetmyer, who was not expecting the turn on the ball.
As soon as the ball struck the pad, Ravindra Jadeja went up for an appeal in a convincing way. Meanwhile, MS Dhoni was unsure whether Hetmyer has got an inside edge on the ball.

However, the confident Ravindra Jadeja pushed his skipper Virat Kohli to take the review. The confidence of Jadeja and also Shimron Hetmyer being the big fish, Virat Kohli went for it, which paid great dividends.
As it happened:
Coming to the match, initially, it was Windies skipper Jason Holder, who won the toss and asked the home side to take the field first. But the decision to bat hasn’t yielded well, as Kieran Powell and Shai Hope walked back for the low scores.

Though Marlon Samuels looked in a good nick, Ravindra Jadeja got the better of him with a subtle change in the pace of his delivery. Since then, they never looked stable in the middle, as Indian bowlers kept on bagging the wickets.
Meanwhile, Ravindra Jadeja has been the wrecker-in-chief with four wickets to his name in his 9.5 over spell. On the other hand, Bumrah and Khaleel Ahmed bagged a couple of wickets while Kuldeep and Bhuvneshwar chipped with a wicket to bundle out Windies for 104 on the board.
