Watch: “Peach” Twitter goes crazy as Sir Ravindra Jadeja picks two wickets in first over against Scotland

Ravindra Jadeja picks two wickets in an over

India has got off to a flyer in their T20 World Cup match against Scotland. Ravindra Jadeja has been the weaker in chief as the Men in Blue scalped four wickets in the first seven overs. India has Scotland where they want them and is ready to go for the choke with half of the team in the dugout already.

Coming into the attack in the seventh over, Jadeja turned the game with two rippers. He first got rid of the dangerous Richie Berrington with a peach of a delivery. Pitching on the leg stump, the delivery squared up the Scottish batsman before taking his middle stump for a ride.

On the final delivery of the over, Ravindra Jadeja sent Mathew Cross packing with a sliding delivery. The Scottish wicketkeeper was caught plumb as Jadeja scalped two wickets in his first over. As Indian fans celebrated the great start, Twitter went berserk over the ripper which claimed Berrington’s wicket.

Jadeja finished with figures of 3-15, his best figures in T20 internationals. His three wickets have put India in the driver’s seat as they eye a comprehensive win over the Scottish team to boost their NRR. It seems like India will be chasing a total in double digits as Mohammed Shami joined the party with three wickets.
