Jadeja did Dhoni's work
Jadeja took three wickets in the second innings. He also took the last wicket of New Zealand but was run out. Jadeja executed this runout in Dhoni style. Glenn Phillips played a shot on Jadeja's short ball and the ball went to deep point. Washington Sundar, standing there, came slowly towards the ball. Seeing this, captain Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja looked angry and shouted loudly at Sundar.
Seeing this, Sundar immediately bowled the ball at the non-striker end. The ball reached Jadeja in one go, who effortlessly flicked it with his palm towards the stumps. The ball fell directly on the stumps and Team India appealed. The on-field umpire turned to the third umpire. Replays showed that William O'Rourke was out of the crease. With this New Zealand's innings ended.
