Chennai Super Kings’ all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja accounts to be one of the best fielders in world cricket and his throw to run KL Rahul out was enough to prove his on-field ability. Known for pulling off some spectacular run-outs, Jadeja sent Rahul back to the dugout in the match against Punjab Kings on Friday.
It all started in the fifth delivery of the opening over, when a slight hesitation between Gayle and Rahul led to Jadeja making use of the extra second and executing a brilliant run-out to send the Punjab skipper back in the dugout for 5 off 7 balls. This was the 22nd time that Jadeja has effected a run-out, the most by any player in the IPL history.
After the brilliant run-out effort, Jadeja went on to produce another brilliant fielding display, and this time Gayle ended up being on the receiving end. In the third delivery of the fifth over, Jadeja dived forward to pluck a sharp low catch, which brought an end to Gayle’s stay in the middle. The Windies cricketer was dismissed on 10 from the same number of balls.
After the catch of Chris, Gayle Jadeja takes an easy looking catch of Shahrukh Khan. Shahrukh Khan is also the highest scorer from Punjab King’s side with 47 runs in 36 deliveries.
