Ravindra Jadeja's catch vs LSG (X.com)
Ravindra Jadeja is one of the finest fielders in Indian cricket currently, and every now and then, he comes up with a fielding effort that catches the imagination of cricket fans around the world. In the 34th match of IPL 2024, he once again displayed his amazing skills on the field and took a blinder at point to end KL Rahul's classy knock of 82 off 53 balls.
It was the first delivery of the 18th over and Matheesha Pathirana bowled it short and wide outside off. KL Rahul who was batting beautifully played a fierce cut shot that seemed like it would race away towards the boundary line in flash. Ravindra Jadeja at point though had other plans as he plucked a stunning one-handed catch with his usual unfussed grace.
