However, on the second day, he could add only 1 run to his score and then got out on a personal score of 20 off Jofra Archer’s ball. Jaddu’s catch was caught by Harry Brook at second slip. However, questions are being raised on this catch and some fans believe that Jadeja may have been given wrongly out.
Jofra Archer was bowling the 85th over of India’s innings. Ravindra Jadeja survived on the first ball of this over, because the catch was not carried to the gully fielder but Jaddu got trapped on the fourth ball. Archer’s out-going ball took the edge of Jadeja’s bat and Harry Brook, who was at second slip, dived to his right and took a good catch.
The on-field umpire also seemed satisfied with Brook’s catch and declared Jadeja out without taking the help of the third umpire. However, some fans did not seem satisfied with this catch and they believe that when Brook took the catch, the ball was touching the ground.

Harry Brook grounded that Jadeja catch. Why is there no replay yet? #ENGvIND

Look how Zak Crawley waited for the umpires to check the legality of the catch while Ravindra Jadeja didn't even bother to wait when his low catch was taken by Harry Brook earlier in the day. Ravindra Jadeja's game awareness is in the gutter.

Jadeja stood his ground as he too saw it.
