In a massive setback for Team India during the ongoing fourth Test in Ranchi, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was dismissed for 12 runs in the first innings. The seasoned player, stepping in at No. 5, was unable to make his experience count, leading to an early dismissal that has put his team in a dismal position.

The dismissal came in the 37th over, bowled by Shoaib Bashir. Bashir's delivery, a top-spinner that unexpectedly bounced more than anticipated, became Jadeja's undoing. Attempting to move forward and defend, Jadeja edged the ball, which then struck his pad and lofted into the air. The catch was easily secured by Ollie Pope at short leg, which marked the end of Jadeja's brief stint at the crease.

Ravindra Jadeja's innings began promisingly, marking a departure from his usual cautious approach. Shortly after arriving at the crease, he delivered an impressive performance against Tom Harley, hitting back-to-back sixes. However, his aggression proved to be short-lived, as he was sent back to the pavilion in the very next over.


At the time of writing this article, India's score stands at 164/5 after 48 overs. Young talents, Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan are now at the crease, tasked with a challenging recovery mission. 

With a substantial deficit of 188 runs still looming, the duo faces the herculean task of navigating India through this difficult phase and setting a solid foundation for the rest of the Test.
