On the eve of the second Test against South Africa in Pune, Indian players had an intense practice session, where Ravindra Jadeja outfoxed Virat Kohli with a brilliant delivery.

The India skipper didn’t look comfortable against Jadeja as the left-arm spinner got a ball to land on a length and skid through. Failing to pick up the length and bounce of the delivery, Kohli got bowled. It was certainly a rare sight given the Indian captain’s usual domination against the spinners.

Taking to Twitter, ESPNcricinfo shared a clip of the delivery with the caption: “Left-arm spinners around the world, are you watching?”
