India are in a tricky situation while chasing a target of 193 runs on day five of the third Test against England at Lords Cricket Ground. However, Ravindra Jadeja is still at the crease showing a ray of hope to the Indian fans with just two wickets left. At one point, the Indian fans also saw their final hope getting shattered after Chris Woakes trapped Jadeja and appealed for an LBW in the 48th over. Eventually, the on-field umpire gave out and India lost their ninth wicket with 68 runs still needed.
Right after the umpire confirmed the wicket, Jadeja asked for a review. After the review was taken, it was seen that the impact was outside the line and the ball wasn’t hitting the wicket. India got a big relief as Jadeja was their only hope to win the match. On the very next delivery, Jadeja replied with a massive six against Woakes as the Indian fans started jumping in joy.
