When Ryan Rickelton looped a ball over the mid-on fielder, Mohammed Siraj grabbed it out of thin air as he timed the jump accurately and took a good overhead catch. This drew first blood for India in the second innings, and Jadeja had a breakthrough.
India and South Africa are racing for the top positions in the WTC Points Table, and the visiting side, South Africa, has dominated the Indians at their home. They won the first game of the series at the Eden Gardens and are looking towards a series clean sweep.
India, on the other hand, might be attempting to save their honour as another home series loss would be a huge blow to the prestige of the two-time WTC runners-up. South Africa is closing in on a 400-run lead.
Ryan Rickelton departs after a stunning effort from Mohammed Siraj
In the 19th over of the game, Ravindra Jadeja was called in for the third over of his spell. India is surely looking for wickets to win or draw the match, and bringing in their most experienced spinner, Captain Pant, made just the right call.
Jadeja delivered in the third delivery of the over, as Ryan Rickelton advanced down the track, opening his aggressive wings and looking to loft the ball through the on-side. Not a great turner of the ball, Jadeja held his grip, and the batter ended up miscuing the shot over the cover region.
Mohammed Siraj times his jump to perfection and takes a stunning overhead catch. Usually, it's not easy to take such catches, but Siraj just has the cat-like reflexes needed in the position.
A huge moment for India as Jadeja removes Rickelton and lifts the energy on the field! 🔥💙#INDvSA 2nd Test Day 4 LIVE NOW 👉 https://t.co/X0C19TxLAq pic.twitter.com/ArAcuEps6I
