Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja invited the wrath of skipper Virat Kohli for a brief moment during the second day of the first Test against West Indies when he almost missed a run out in an attempt to tease batsman Shimron Hetmyer. The incident took place in Ravichandran Ashwin’s over when a massive mix-up in the middle between Hetmyer and Sunil Ambris saw both the batsmen end up at the same end.
Hetmyer had whipped the delivery across the line to mid-on and straight into Jadeja’s hands. But he tried to sneak in a single which prompted Ambris to run towards his end.

The ‘comical’ moment did not appear to go down well with both Ashwin and skipper Kohli, both of whom came close to Jadeja to question him about his needless theatrics. But Jadeja shrugged and laughed, which made Kohli smile wryly. The fact that India had managed to get the wicket calmed tensions in the middle quickly, and Jadeja escaped without having to face a huge moment of embarrassment.

Later, as the game continued and the replay of the incident was played over and over on the giant television screens, the all-rounder was seen giving smiling with embarrassment and shaking his head at the boundary line.
India declared their innings for 649/9, with Jadeja scoring his maiden Test hundred.
