Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who is considered one of best fielders in Cricket today produced a magic moment as he got rid of Neil Wagner on Day 2 of second Test between India and New Zealand in Christchurch on Sunday. A power-packed spell of bowling by Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja gave India a seven-run first innings lead over New Zealand.

However, what grabbed eyeballs before tea break was Jadeja's one-handed stunner. It all happened on last delivery of 72nd over when Wagner hooked a short delivery from speedster Mohammed Shami. At first, it looked like shot would go for six, however, it cased as Jadeja did his thing at square leg boundary. Standing some feet away from boundary, Jadeja timed his leap to perfection before grabbing ball with one hand to display a stellar attempt.
