Watch: Ravindra Jadeja takes catch of the century to dismiss dangerman Jason Roy
Ravindra Jadeja may not be in the playing eleven but if he is called in as a substitute he makes sure that he contributes to the cause. In the 38th match of World Cup 2019, Ravindra Jadeja was called in as a substitute fielder after KL Rahul left because of an injury.
In the 23rd over of the match Kuldeep Yadav was bowling and pitched a googly, Jason Roy tried to hit the ball but it went flat from his bat and Ravindra Jadeja who was standing at long-on came running to his left and took the spectacular catch.
Not in the playing 11, but never out of the action. All hail Sir Jadeja.#TicketToTheSemis #INDvENG ICC #CWC19 @imjadeja pic.twitter.com/Ya9jKzd0PL
