Ravindra Jadeja: Come show me by taking runs... Ravindra Jadeja challenged Joe Root, the English star, could not muster the courage to run..

When the ball goes into the hands of Ravindra Jadeja of the Indian team, one of the best fielders in the world, the batsman changes his intention of taking a run. Something similar was seen in the third match of the Test series being played between India and England. Joe Root was batting on 98 runs when the ball went to Jadeja, and he picked it up and challenged the English batsman by taking a run. However, it was funny, and Joe Root also kept smiling at it.

The captain of England won the toss against India in the third consecutive Test. Ben Stokes, who bowled first in the last two matches, decided to bat this time. At the end of the day's play, Joe Root was playing after scoring 99 runs while captain Ben Stokes was on a score of 39 runs. The team had scored 251 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. On the second day's play, while India will intend to get England all out as quickly as possible, the host team will want to put up a big score.

Jadeja challenged Joe Root.

Joe Root, who was batting on 98 after playing 190 balls, wanted to take a run in the last session of the third Test match but was stopped by Jadeja. On the fourth ball of the 83rd over of England's first innings, he played a shot at the ball of Akash Deep. 34-year-old Root was desperate to take two runs so that he could complete his century before the end of the first day's play. World's number 1 Test all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja stopped the ball and jokingly provoked Root to take a second run so that he could complete his century.

The video of this great moment between Joe Root and Ravindra Jadeja was shared by fans on X and it went viral on the internet very fast. Root was so desperate to complete his 37th Test century on Thursday that he even ran half the way to complete the second run but it was not possible. Despite remaining unbeaten on 99 runs off 191 balls, Root did not take a single run.
