WI vs IND: [WATCH] India All-rounder’s Stunning Catch Dismisses Alick Athanaze During First ODI

Team India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is undoubtedly one of the best fielders in world cricket at the moment. His fielding brilliance was on display once again during the first ODI against West Indies on Thursday, July 27 at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. His outstanding effort sent Alick Athanaze back to the pavilion cheaply.

The incident took place during the eight over, as West Indies was asked to bat first. Mukesh Kumar bowled an outside off-stump delivery. Alick Athanaze walked down the track and tried to take advantage of the width on offer. However, he couldn’t get on the top of the ball, as there was some extra bounce. The ball went to backward point fielder, Ravindra Jadeja, who pulled off a great catch. The catch left the fans in awe.
