All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is famous for his extraordinary fielding skills. And cricket enthusiasts got to witness his 'magic' again in yesterday's Asia Cup final between India and Bangladesh.
In the last ball of the 27th over, Yuzvendra Chahal was bowling to Bangladesh opener Liton Das, with Mohammad Mithun at the non-striker end. A major confusion between the two batsmen ended with Ravindra Jadeja showing off his brilliant reflexes. Mithun eventually fell short and straded off his crease.
Das drilled the delivery towards extra-cover, as the ball raced towards the boundary. In came Jadeja, who somehow intercepted the ball with a spot on full-length dive. He then threw the ball towards Chahal, effecting a simple run-out.
This man is truly magician 👏

Then there is Ravindra Jadeja the fielding all rounder!
Fantastic effort by the bowlers to restrict Bangladesh after the start they got. Liton Das played a gem , run out by Jadeja was a big moment.#AsiaCupFinal
