Jadeja bowling a quick over..!? Just 73 seconds?

All-rounder ravindra jadeja made a miracle possible in the second ODI of the three-match ODI series against england in Cuttack, Odisha. Jadeja bowled to batsman Harry Brook in the 24th over of the england innings. In fact, Brook is a destructive batter. He used to play Tests like ODIs and ODIs like T20s. Jadeja bowled balls like that to such a man. He completed the over without giving a single run. If you look at the time, it turns out that the over was completed in just 72 seconds. Jadeja bowled sparingly in the match. He gave away only 35 runs in his quota of 10 overs. He gave away the fewest runs among the indian bowlers. His bowling quota includes a maiden. This is the maiden that Brook bowled in 72 seconds.
Meanwhile, ravindra jadeja has completed an over in the shortest time in Tests in the past. He bowled an over in 64 seconds in a Test match in 2021. It is noteworthy that this was also against England. He completed an over in 93 seconds against australia in the World Test championship final. Jadeja bowling such a quick over is very good for the team captain. It gives him an opportunity to escape from the slow overrate. On the other hand, since the ball has a very short time between the balls, it puts pressure on the batters not to turn the ball. No one thought that Jadeja would have a chance for the ODI series with England. Jadeja was not selected for the ODI series against sri lanka in July. Earlier, after the t20 world cup victory, Jadeja said goodbye to that format. Jadeja was not expected to be selected for ODIs because he could not spin the ball as well as before. Moreover, with Axar Patel, who could bowl and bat like him, he was not selected. But, the selectors finally recognized Jadeja's seniority. He bowled well in the first ODI as well.
