What's the story

Prithvi Shaw was the star of Day 1 of the first Test match between India and West Indies in Rajkot, but Ravindra Jadeja stole all the limelight on Day 2. How? We're talking about his "comic" run-out to dismiss Shimron Hetmyer. In the 12th over of second innings, there was a mix-up and both batsmen ended up at the same end. Here's what happened.

The Jadeja act

What actually happened?

Jadeja, despite seeing both batsmen at one end, didn't throw the ball back to Ashwin but rather casually jogged up to the stumps. Seeing this, Hetmyer sprinted but was spotted by Jadeja who then quickly threw the ball at the stumps and luckily managed to dislodge the bails and successfully ran him out. However, BCCI captured the moment and shared it on Twitter.

Kohli, definitely wasn't impressed with Jadeja's act

Though Twitter had a field day and even Hetmyer was successfully run-out, the Jadeja act didn't go down well with either Ashwin or Kohli. The Indian skipper later questioned Jadeja about his antics.
