Ravindra Jadeja: Steve Smith's run-out one of my best

The Hindu  

Despite having emerged as India’s most successful bowler on Friday, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja picked his astonishing fielding effort to run centurion Steve Smith out as a memorable moment from the second day’s play of the third Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Having got the direct hit from outside the 30-yard circle, I would say it’s my most favourite, in fact, the best,” Jadeja said after the day's play. “Picking wickets - three or four - overseas is good, but the run-out was a moment that would stay with me forever.” Jadeja’s amazing effort in the field - running in from the deep square-leg boundary, picking the ball with one hand before effecting a rocket throw to dismantle the woodwork to deny Smith a second run - brought an end to Australia’s first innings. Asked whether he was increasingly looking at himself as a genuine all-rounder in Test cricket over the last year or year and a half, Jadeja said: “It’s not about the last 12 or 18 months, but whenever I get an opportunity, I am keen on contributing with the bat and the ball.
