Star Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was engaged in a hilarious banter with English pacer Chris Woakes during day two of the ongoing Test between England and India at Edgbaston, Birmingham. During his 89-run knock, Jadeja went on to run on some part of the pitch after which Woakes raised a question. However, it went on to become the hilarious conversation between the two players.
In a video posted by Star Sports on their social media, Ravindra Jadeja was quoted saying to Chris Woakes, “I was coming from here” to which Woakes replied with “Look what you’ve done mate.” After that, Jadeja came up with a hilarious reply as he said “I won’t bowl there anyway.” Speaking further, Jadeja also said “Why would I do that? My focus is on batting,” to English skipper Ben Stokes.
