On Day 3 of the Leeds Test between India and England, Team India needed a breakthrough — and it came in stunning fashion.

Prasidh Krishna dismissed Jamie Smith for 40 runs, but it was the incredible fielding effort by Ravindra Jadeja and Sai Sudharsan on the boundary that stole the spotlight.

Smith attempted to pull a short ball but mistimed it, sending it high toward the deep square leg boundary. Jadeja, stationed near the ropes, leaped to stop the ball but lost his balance mid-air.

Just before crossing the boundary, he smartly tossed the ball toward Sudharsan, who had sprinted in from deep. Sudharsan held onto the catch cleanly, completing one of the finest relay catches seen in Test cricket.

This piece of brilliance came just before the second new ball and helped India regain some control. At the time of the wicket, England were 372/6 in reply to India’s 471, with India holding a lead of 99 runs.

The video of the catch quickly went viral, with fans praising the coordination and athleticism shown by the Indian duo.

Heartbreak for Brook; England Trail India by 66 

England batter Harry Brook narrowly missed out on a well-deserved century, falling for 99 during the second session on Day 3 of the first Test against India at Headingley, Leeds.

His dismissal was a major moment in the match as England reached 405 for 7 after 89 overs, still trailing India by 66 runs in their first innings.

Fast bowler Prasidh Krishna was the pick of the Indian attack on the day, claiming three crucial wickets — including that of centurion Ollie Pope and Jamie Smith.

While Krishna proved expensive at times, he managed to break key partnerships. Jasprit Bumrah, who was effective earlier in the match, went wicketless on Day 3 and later left the field due to discomfort.

India had earlier posted a solid total of 471, led by a commanding 147 from skipper Shubman Gill. The match remains finely balanced.
