World Cup 2019 | WATCH: Hilarious mix-up between MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav, but neither of the two dismissed, thanks to Rashid Khan

There was a bizarre moment during India's ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 clash against Afghanistan at Southampton on Saturday. This moment featured young Afghanistan all-rounder Rashid Khan. Yes, you heard it right. The star leg-spinner was unfortunate as he failed to capitalize on the opportunity of running out India's Kedar Jadhav.

It happened in the 45th over of the Indian innings. On the very first delivery, MS Dhoni hit the ball to the leg side and set off for a quick single. However, seeing Rashid go and collect the ball quickly, MS backed out from stealing a single at the very last moment. Kedar Jadhav was in all sorts of trouble as he was a long way down the wicket. Nonetheless, he rolled the ball and it appeared like Jadhav would be run out easily. Unfortunately, there was no fielder to back it up as Afghan skipper Gulbadin Naib had slipped while he was on his way to collect the ball. Jadhav lived to fight another day and an Afghanistan fan was visibly disappointed after this comedy of errors. But, Rashid had the last laugh as he dismissed MS Dhoni in the very same over.

India are looking to continue their unbeaten run in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 against Afghanistan at Southampton on Saturday. India have started their World Cup campaign on a high, winning three out of their opening four games. They are yet to lose a match but were forced to share a point with New Zealand as the match was abandoned due to rain. Afghanistan, playing their second World Cup, have not managed a single win yet and are presently sitting at the rock-bottom of the points table. There is no doubt that India are the obvious favorites.

India won the toss and elected to bat first. However, unlike their previous couple of games, they did not get off to an ideal start as they lost the stylish opening batsman Rohit Sharma early. Skipper Virat Kohli then added 57 runs with KL Rahul for the second wicket. After Rahul's dismissal, Kohli then stitched in a 58-run stand with Vijay Shankar. The Indian skipper registered his 52nd half-century. He scored a 63-ball 67 which included five boundaries at a strike rate of 106.35.

MS Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav were then involved in a small partnership. In the end, riding on Jadhav's patient half-century, India got to a respectable total of 224/8 in their 50 overs.
