IND vs AFG Live: Flying Ravindra Jadeja takes a stunning catch, third umpire gives Not-out! Check out
It was the second ball of the 19th over. M Shami bowled a slower ball outside off to Karim Janat who slogged it powerfully. However, the ball goes up swirling in the air over midwicket. Jadeja ran in a long way from the boundary, and he sprints there in super-quick time with a full-length dive to reach it in the end. The soft signal was given OUT but the replays show that he’s held on to the ball but brushed it into the ground upon landing.
Although it was a not-out, it’s a Ravindra Jadeja special! Check out –

Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul smashed half-centuries while Mohammed Shami bagged three wickets as India beat Afghanistan by 66 runs to keep their semifinals hopes alive. Sent to bat, India set 211 target with Hardik Pandya and Rishabh Pant playing quickfire knocks. Afghanistan in response could only score 144/7. The win meant, India’s net run rate finally moved to positive (+0.073) and Virat Kohli & Co moved to 4th place in Group 2 with 2 points from 3 matches.
The Men in Blue now have two fixtures left against minnows Scotland & Namibia. India needs to win both the remaining games handsomely and also hope the other team’s fixtures fall in their favor.
