Chennai Super Kings cricketers Ravindra Jadeja and Faf du Plessis showed excellent teamwork to deliver a brilliant catch against Kolkata Knight Riders in a 2020 IPL league match in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
It happened on the last ball of the 11th final. Karn Sharma, who has been included in CSK Playing XI for this KKR match in place of Piyush Chawla, pitched one to invite the big shot Sunil Narine.

KKR’s all-rounder took the bait and tried to throw the ball through the empty region between the middle wicket and the long one.
Jadeja, who was standing in the middle of the deep window, had other ideas. He made a lot of ground to his right and dove to his full length to grab the catch and as soon as he realized he was creeping closer to the boundary cushions he threw the ball with his right hand towards Faf du Plessis , who showed good conscience of the match to be ready in the long term.

The clever capture ended with a cameo from Narine, who was sent in at issue # 4 when KKR decided to open with Rahul Tripathi and Shubman Gill.
Kolkata Knight Riders captain Dinesh Karthik won the toss and opted to hit first. KKR decided to deploy an unchanged team, while CSK brought in Sharma instead of Chawla.
