ICC CWC'19: Jadeja's stunning catch against England leaves Twitterati in awe
New Delhi: In the ongoing match between India and England in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja took a sensational catch to dismiss England opening batsman Jason Roy and this catch by Jadeja is being widely appreciated on Twitter.
Jadeja is not part of India's playing eleven but he came as a substitute for opener KL Rahul in the field.
The incident happened in the 23rd over of the England innings. Kuldeep Yadav bowled a top-spinner and Roy was able to get to the pitch of the ball to cart it down the ground but he was not able to get the elevation. Jadeja came sprinting to his left and he dived full length and was able to pluck the ball inches from the ground.
Many fans took to Twitter to express their awe by Jadeja's catch.
"You can keep Sir Jadeja out of the team, you can't keep him out of the match. #INDvENG #IndiavsEngland #INDvsENG," one fan wrote.
