In a thrilling encounter between India and Bangladesh at the World Cup 2023, Ravindra Jadeja showcased his mastery with the ball, leaving fans on the edge of their seats. Jadeja’s shrewd bowling tactics proved to be the undoing of Najmul Hossain Shanto, marking a pivotal moment in the match.
Facing Jadeja’s cunning delivery at a pace of 93.2 kph, Shanto attempted to counter the ball by going deep into the crease. However, Jadeja’s deceptive skidding delivery had other plans. The ball pitched back of a length on off, but skidded after hitting the surface, completely outfoxing Shanto.
The ball beat Shanto’s inside edge and struck him on the left leg, prompting a strong appeal from Jadeja and the Indian team. The umpire had no hesitation in raising his finger, signaling the end of Shanto’s innings. Despite consulting with Litton Das, Shanto decided not to waste the review, accepting his fate. Shanto departed having scored 8 runs off 17 balls.
