Watch: Ravindra Jadeja stages an amazing finish v New Zealand at Auckland

Watch: Ravindra Jadeja stages an amazing finish v New Zealand at Auckland: A magnificent late burst from Ravindra Jadeja saw India snatch a near improbable tie for India against New Zealand at Auckland, 2014. Jadeja known as an attacking batsman justified his reputation by staging a late onslaught in what was a famous match for the sheer entertainment it gave. Chasing New Zealand’s 318 runs, India needed 18 runs off the last 6 crucial deliveries.

Jadeja and Varun Aaron were at the crease. Jadeja was batting on 51 not out. Corey Anderson was set to bowl the final over. He had already picked up a fifer and was in ominous looking form. But Jadeja wasn’t going to surrender meekly. He smashed Corey Anderson’s short pitched delivery straight over to the mid wicket for a majestic boundary. The crowd erupted. Anderson seemingly unnerved by that thwack in the previous delivery bowled a wide. India now required 13 from 5 balls.

Anderson again delivered a short pitched one but Jadeja looking to make room for himself ended up missing it to his disgruntlement. Anderson this time bowled a well-directed short pitched delivery and Jadeja could do nothing but block it. Two dot balls saw the equation getting boiled down to 13 runs from 3 balls. Anderson bowled another wide. The next ball was bludgeoned for a stylish four on to the leg side by the south paw. Now it was 8 from 2. Another short ball saw the penultimate delivery getting hooked for a majestic pull shot over the ropes..The Indian fans went berserk. Now it was just a matter of 2 in a ball. Jadeja looked to whack it through to the covers but could only rack up a single. The nerve-wracking match ended in a tie. Credit to both the batter and the bowler for keeping calm under pressure, especially Jadeja he must have nerves of steel.
