18.4: Naman Dhir to Ravindra Jadeja, OUT! RUN OUT! A needless mix-up in the middle and Jadeja departs. Back of a length, on the pads, Jadeja tucks across off the back foot to the square leg region and looks for a single. Is through for one, but Rachin Ravindra at the other end, turns back to deny the single. However, Jadeja puts the skates on and rushes to the other end, ball-watching. Soon realises as the fielder, Deepak Chahar, throws to the keeper and Rickelton whips the bails off. The umpires request Jadeja to stay as they want to check whether he crossed Rachin in the process to get to the other end. But, after a few checks it is deemed that Jadeja is out.
