Firstly, he bagged two scalps of Jos Buttler and Shivam Dube. Next, he took four catches near the boundary to help his♋ team restrict RR at 143/9.
The Saurashtra cricketer took a sharp catch off Sam Curran’s bowling at deep mid-wicket to send Manan Vohra back to the pavilion. He then pulled off two stunners in the 14th over to dismiss Chris Morris and Riyan Parag at the deep-mid wicket. Jaddu blew the final nail in RR coffin by taking a sharp catch of Jaydev Unadkat in the 20th over.
However, a unique thing about the dismissals was the way Jadeja celebrated af⛄ter completing the catches. He signalled with his fingers that he had taken four catches and 🔜also enacted making a phone call. This celebration is doing the rounds on social media and is a must-watch.
