Ravindra Jadeja left the field while batting on Day 5 of the 3rd Test against England at Lord's on Monday (July 14).

While chasing 193 runs, India were 159 for 9 when the India batter took off from the field and rushed to the Lord's dressing room.

The game was stopped for a brief period as the England bowlers were kept waiting for Jadeja. Soon after, the player was seen emerging from the Lord's dressing room onto the field.

Why did Ravindra Jadeja leave the Field?

Ravindra Jadeja left the field for a nature's call. Reportedly, the India batter took off for a Toilet Break, which is allowed for a batter. After fulfilling the call, the India player was seen rushing through the Lord's steps into the field.

Former India coach and commentator Ravi Shastri jokingly said that he hopes India coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Shubman Gill won't be giving any advice to the player.

The Tea Break was also delayed at Lord's today as England have already picked up 9 wickets. The tea got pushed back for 30 minutes. The tea has just been taken and at the moment, India are 163 for 9, with Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Siraj at the crease. Jadeja battles on and is currently batting with 56 on his name, while Siraj bats on 2. India need 30 runs to win the match while England need just a wicket.
