As the Headingley Test between India and England heats up on Day 3, the entertainment off the field is also grabbing attention, with popular media houses joining the meme game in style.

Ravindra Jadeja and Sai Sudharsan combined brilliantly to dismiss Jamie Smith during the second session, and English media house, Sky Sports Cricket, decided to acknowledge the moment with a touch of Tollywood flair.

Taking to their official handle on X (formerly Twitter), Sky Sports Cricket shared a collage featuring Jadeja and Sai Sudharsan alongside a picture of South Indian film superstars NTR Jr. and Ram Charan.

While the post might confuse non-movie buffs, movie fans were quick to catch the nod to the Oscar-winning film RRR. The image symbolized the duo’s seamless coordination and power-packed effort on the field, much like the film's central theme of unity and brotherhood.

How Did Jadeja-Sai Pull Off An Extraordinary Catch?

Speaking of the catch itself, Jadeja executed a superb effort near the boundary to dismiss Jamie Smith off a short delivery by Prasidh Krishna. Smith attempted a pull shot but mistimed it, resulting in a top edge that sailed toward deep square leg. 

Jadeja grabbed it with a reverse cup, kept his balance near the ropes, and flicked the ball back into play mid-air. Sudharsan, charging in from long leg, completed the catch with ease.

The TV umpire confirmed it as a clean effort, handing Sudharsan his maiden Test catch and India a timely breakthrough.

England Inches Closer To India's Lead

At the drinks break on Day 3 in the first Test between India and England at Headingley, the hosts reached 388/6 in 86 overs, trailing India by 83 runs. England resumed the day strongly after finishing Day 2 at 209/3. 

Despite losing Ollie Pope early in the morning session for a well-made 106, Harry Brook has anchored the innings superbly and remains unbeaten on 97 off 109 balls, looking set for a century. 

Jamie Smith contributed a handy 40 before falling to Prasidh Krishna, courtesy of a stunning boundary catch combination from Ravindra Jadeja and B Sai Sudharsan. Chris Woakes is holding one end as England continues to chip away at India’s first-innings total of 471.
