Twitter explodes as Ravindra Jadeja comes in as substitute fielder to help dismiss England's first wicket
India desperately needed a wicket as both Jonny Bairstow and Jason Roy were smashing the Indian bowlers around. KL Rahul got injured while fielding and in came Ravindra Jadeja who helped Kuldeep Yadav pick a wicket after pulling off a brilliant catch. Twitterati showered praises on the 12th man.
A special tweet from Jadeja's CSK teammate!
There’s a reason he’s called “Sir” Jadeja. Top top catch !! Game changer

Of course!
Sir Jadeja has contributed more in this World Cup than Shankar's 3D skill. #CWC19

England did not see that coming!
That was as good a catch as any seen in the World Cup. Jadeja is a very, very special 12th man, India’s secret weapon!

Excellent tactics by India to get Jadeja in as a substitute fielder every single match.
We will get to know the post match press conference!
What did Dhoni say to Jadeja just before this catch? 😍 #INDvENG

And that is a Fact!
You can keep Sir Jadeja out of the team, you can't keep him out of the match. 👏#INDvENG #IndiavsEngland #INDvsENG pic.twitter.com/fWheXxdK71

Exactly what I was thinking!
Not sure Rahul would have taken that catch. Not sure any other fielder in the Indian team could have taken that. Jadeja... what a fielder... pic.twitter.com/YpvkWxNoTO
