Ravindra Jadeja has been a live wire on the field during this tour with some fantastic catches like the one he took running backwards at the MCG to dismiss Matthew Wade or this run-out at a crucial juncture when Smith could have added an extra 25 to 30 runs.

An exceptional all-rounder, India’s Ravindra Jadeja was pretty chuffed about running Steven Smith out with a direct hit in the ongoing third Test against Australia and called it his “best ever” fielding effort which he can watch any number of times. Smith, who was batting on 130 and was in a mood to slog every ball in company of No. 11 batsman Josh Hazlewood, couldn’t beat a direct throw from Jadeja, who sprinted from his deep square leg position and effected a direct hit with throw reminiscent of the great Kapil Dev during his heydays.
Asked what will he like to watch, the 4-62 he got or the run out, the senior all-rounder replied: “I will rewind and play this run out as this is my best effort. A direct hit from outside the 30-yard circle and that’s like a moment that gives you that satisfaction.” “Three or four-wicket hauls are fine but this run-out will stay with me,” added the Saurashtra all-rounder. India trail by 242 runs going into Day Three with eight wickets in hand.
