  1. Ravindra Jadeja’s Brilliant Comeback:

During his initial overs, Jadeja just didn’t seem to be hitting the right spots. The all-rounder was just darting his way to the batsmen and that offered the Proteas some easy opportunities to keep the scoreboard ticking. After his first four overs, Jadeja gave away 22 and was taken off. It was his second spell, however, which brought India back into the hunt.

Faf du Plessis and Quinton De Kock were looking good as a pair and India desperately needed to see the back of their chief tormentor. Jadeja brought that magical moment as an ill -timed sweep shot from De Kock was headed straight to the stumps, which was a pivotal moment in the game.
