On Day 2 of the Test series opener, Ravindra Jadeja dropped an absolute sitter to give the England National Cricket Team opening batsman Ben Duckett a lifeline.
Jadeja is regarded as one of the best fielders in world cricket. His excellent fitness gives him an edge on the field, and he takes some exceptional catches and produces brilliant run-outs.
That rare moment occurred during the first Test between India and England at Headingley in Leeds on Saturday, June 21, as Jadeja dropped an absolute sitter to give a reprieve to the explosive opener Ben Duckett.
On the sixth ball, he bowled a length delivery just outside off-stump, and Ben Duckett remained inside the line and slashed hard. He wasn't able to keep it down, and the ball went quickly towards Ravindra Jadeja.

"Potentially yes. Listen, the only person who was happy about what happened with the toss yesterday, potentially, was Nasser Hussein. Remember he famously put Australia in in Brisbane.
"And if you aren't going to have a bat on a day like that then I don't know under which circumstances you do. Yes, of course the history here is that the pitch doesn't tend to break up and that run chases can be easier in the fourth innings. However, we have heat here and we haven't had a great deal of that over the last two or three test matches here at Henley that I can remember.
"And the fact that it was sort of 30 degrees yesterday, it feels as though it might even be a little bit hotter than that today. Kind of gives you the impression that things might move in terms of the way this pitch behaves laterally in the match. So listen, it was a really tough day for England, but honestly they only really had themselves to blame for making that call at the toss."
