IND vs ENG Ravindra Jadeja apologizes to Sarfaraz Khan after run-out incident

"With his innings progressing quickly—he reached his first half century in just 48 balls—Sarfaraz's desire to stay in the middle was cut short when he miscommunicated with Jadeja. On Thursday, Ravindra Jadeja expressed his regret to teammate Sarfaraz Khan for unintentionally running him out during the first day of the third Test match between India and England in Rajkot. With his innings progressing quickly—he reached his first half century in just 48 balls—Sarfaraz's desire to stay in the middle was cut short when he miscommunicated with Jadeja. The episode also prompted Indian captain Rohit Sharma's enraged response in the locker room, as the 36-year-old was seen by the television cameras discarding his a cap following the run out. Following the game, Jadeja apologised to Sarfaraz on Instagram for the confusion.

I'm sorry about Sarfaraz Khan. I made the incorrect call. The seasoned all-around player said, ""Well played,"" on his Instagram story. In the press conference following the game, Sarfaraz had already mentioned the occurrence, stating that incidents like these are normal parts of the sport. ""He entered the changing room and said, 'There was a slight miscommunication, so it happened.'"" ""Ye hota rehta hai,"" I said to him. It's all part of the fun,"" Sarfaraz remarked. Following India's defeat, Sarfaraz produced a counterattack, pickpocketing nine fours and one maximum in his debut innings for the whites then added an 87-run partnership with Jadeja after that. In Rajkot earlier, India had won the toss and chosen to bat first. Nevertheless, the hosts lost three wickets in the opening session and were 33/3 when Jadeja entered the field in place of captain Rohit Sharma. The day's two centurions then combined for a 204-run partnership for the fourth wicket. India finished the day with 326 runs scored and Jadeja undefeated at 110, despite losing five wickets. Kuldeep Yadav had just begun his innings, while Dhruv Jurel, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Axar Patel were still to come."
