'Why Jadeja Why': Ravindra Jadeja faces wrath of cricket fans for role in Sarfaraz Khan run out

After a disastrous mix-up which led to the dismissal of debutant Sarafaraz Khan, Ravindra Jadeja is facing severe flak on social media. The run-out transpired when Jadeja was on 99 and itching to get to the three-figure mark. An episode of indecision at the mark proved to be too fatal.

On a rare occasion, a player who has registered a ton is still at the end of criticism. Ravindra Jadeja, who was in the mainstream recently due to some personal issues that were made public, did not let outside factors affect his game. The left-hander constructed a gritty knock at his home ground, and courtesy of that, India are on course to achieve a formidable 1st innings total in the India vs England 3rd Test. Jadeja registered his 3rd international Test hundred in front of his home crowd in Rajkot. He went unbeaten at 110 at the stumps on Day 1.
