The all-rounder back flicks like Dhoni to effect a run out

Image Source: XtraTime[/caption] Internet Desk: Ravindra Jadeja did a MS Dhoni at the Jharkhand State Cricket Association stadium on Friday. Regarded as the best fielder in the Indian team, Jadeja reminded the fans at Ranchi by inflicting a Dhoni-esque run-out. The all-rounder ran out Josh Hazlewood just like Dhoni did against New Zealand at the same venue. Jadeja collaborated with his team mate Lokesh Rahul to dismiss the final wicket of Aussie tail ender Josh Hazlewood, which anyone can call a brilliant team effort. Aussie skipper Steve Smith hit a full delivery from Jadeja towards square leg and tried to pull off a quick two runs. Rahul was very quick to respond as he threw the ball very quickly to Jadeja. As Rahul threw the ball towards the bowler’s end Jadeja still had a fair amount of work to do which he did with perfection.

Standing in front of the stumps, Jadeja caught the ball and back flicked it on to the stumps in just a fraction of a second, which caught the Aussie tail ender short of his crease. It gives an idea of the fantastic awareness and timing Ravindra Jadeja possesses on the field as a fielder. There is no doubt over the fact that the Saurashtra cricketer has proved to be an all round asset for the Indian Team contributing through his batting, bowling and fielding.
