IND vs ENG: Ravindra Jadeja apologizes to Sarfaraz Khan after run-out incident | Cricket News

Ravindra Jadeja on Thursday apologized to teammate Sarfaraz Khan after he had inadvertently run him out in the first day of the 3rd Test against England at Rajkot.
Sarfaraz was racing along with his innings, reaching his maiden half century in just 48 balls but his attempt to prolong his stay in the middle was cut short due to a mix-up with Jadeja.
The incident also led to Indian skipper Rohit Sharma’s fuming reaction in the dressing room, as the 36-year-old was caught the broadcast cameras, throwing away his cap in the aftermath of the run out.
After the match, Jadeja took to Instagram and apologized to Sarfaraz for the mix up. “Feeling bad for Sarfaraz Khan. It was my wrong call. Well played,” the veteran all rounder wrote in his Instagram story.
Sarfaraz had already touched upon the incident in the post-match press conference saying things like these are part and parcel of the game. “He came to dressing room and said, ‘Thoda sa miscommunication ho gaya tha… (there was a bit of a misunderstanding).’ I said to him, ‘Ye hota rehta hai’. It’s part of the game,” Sarfaraz said.

In his maiden innings in India’s whites, Sarfaraz pickpocketed nine fours and one maximum in a display of counter attack after India lost four wickets, and went on to add an 87-run stand with Jadeja.
Earlier, India won the toss and opted to bat first in Rajkot. The hosts, however, lost three wickets in the first session and were 33/3 when skipper Rohit Sharma was joined in Jadeja and the two centurions of the day went on to stitch a 204 run partnership for the fourth wicket.
Despite the loss of five wickets, India closed the day with 326 runs on the board and Jadeja unbeaten at 110 with Kuldeep Yadav having just opened his account and Dhruv Jurel, Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel yet to follow.
