Ravindra Jadeja admits his mistake 

He came, he saw, he was about to conquer, but got out dismissed via silly run-out. The debutant Sarafaraz Khan played freely with a positive mindset and got to his fifty in no time. The 26-year-old dealt in fours and sixes and left the England bowlers distraught with his batting. But just when it was looking too perfect, the disaster struck and took the scalp of Sarafaraz.

He got out following a yes-no situation that prevailed at the time when Ravindra Jadeja was on 99 and was seeking a quick single to get to his 100. Jadeja spent a considerable time in the '90s and was looking for the easy singles. However, the urge to get to the century cost big time. The debutant batter perished at 62 and received a standing ovation from the Rajkot crowd and his parents, who were there to witness the achievement of their son.

Following the wicket, Ravindra Jadeja received massive flak on social media for being the propellant of the run-out. However, before more weight could be augmented to an already built bundle of criticism, the all-rounder admitted his mistake and lauded the youngster for his innings. Jadeja took to social media to highlight his message.

His innings reached the exclamation point at 131 where he misjudged a Mark Wood short ball. Following his dismissal, Sarfaraz Khan continued the onslaught and took the innings forward.
