A hilarious incident took place on Day 2 of the first match of the two-match Test series between Rohit Sharma-led India National Cricket Team and Dimuth Karunaratne-led Sri Lanka National Cricket Team at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium.
Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami were involved in one of the most hilarious mix-ups during the second day of the ongoing first Test match against Sri Lanka in Mohali. The incident took place in the 125th over of India’s innings, which was bowled by Sri Lanka left-arm pacer Vishwa Fernando, and when all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was batting along with pacer Mohammed Shami.
Ravindra Jadeja was on strike as he played the ball with soft hands towards the mid-wicket region for a single and then both looked interested for a double. Jadeja called for a double but pulled back the next second. However, Shami had almost reached the non-striker’s end by then. However, the calling between the two players was not great as Jadeja called Shami for the second run but in the middle of the run started running back towards the bowler’s end.
Mohammed Shami and Ravindra Jadeja were seen running towards the same end which was expected to end in a run-out. Pacer Vishwa Fernando missed the action that took place between Jadeja and Shami and he collected the throw and knocked the stumps at his own end and the Sri Lanka wicket-keeper kept waiting for the ball to come towards his end. There was still lot of time to get the throw back to wicketkeeper, it was too late before Fernando realized what was going between the 22 yards.
