IND vs SA: Ravindra Jadeja was on fire against South Africa at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday, November 5. With the bat, Jadeja chipped in with unbeaten 29 runs off 15 balls before weaving magic with the ball.

The left-arm pacer was almost unplayable and South Africa batters were down on their knees. Temba Bavuma was Jadeja's first victim of the evening. The South Africa captain was clean bowled by Jadeja in the 9th over of the match.

Dangerous Heinrich Klaasen was 34-year-old's second victim. However, had Ravindra Jadeja not convinced India captain Rohit Sharma to take a review, he could have been devoid of the precious wicket.

The ball pitched on the leg stump and hit the front pad as Jadeja broke into a wild appeal. On-field umpire Kumar Dharmasena turned down the appeal. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul looked unsure and the former looked in no mood to take a review. But Jadeja convinced his skipper.

The replays showed that the bat hit the ground first and therefore the noise which put Rohit Sharma in doubt. The ball went past Klaasen's bat without touching the bat and hit him below the knee-roll. The ball also spun back a little. Three reds on the screen forced Dharmasena to change his decision to out.

The Indian team broke into celebration after the successful review. Virat Kohli rolled out a trademark aggressive celebration directed towards Heinrich Klaasen who had to depart after scoring just one off 11 balls.

Ravindra Jadeja later went on to pick three more wickets and pick a five-wicket-haul to equal Yuvraj Singh's record. Jadeja and Yuvraj are the only two India spinners to pick a five-wicket haul in the ODI World Cup.
