Ravindra Jadeja pulled off one of the fielding efforts of the season when he saved a certain six during Chennai Super Kings’ Indian Premier League (IPL) match against Kolkata Knight Riders at the MA Chaidambaran Stadium in Chennai on Tuesday.
In the 14th over of the KKR innings, Andre Russell hit a Scott Kuggeleijn delivery towards mid-wicket and it seemed like it will cross the boundary rope comfortably. But Jadeja had other ideas as he timed his his jump to perfection and parried the ball inside to save a certain six.

The under-rated Deepak Chahar, who returned impressive figures of 3 for 20 from 4 overs, rattled the KKR top-order with early strikes, including that of the big-hitting Chris Lynn as the visitors struggled to 29 for four in the powerplay. Harbhajan Singh (2/15), Imran Tahir (2/21) and Ravindra Jadeja (1/17) put the brakes on the KKR batting with a disciplined effort.
