Ravindra Jadeja dropped Keshav Maharaj at mid wicket
Jadeja was probably lost in the thoughts of how he would he have fared on the Centurion pitch that had a bit of purchase in it. He was fielding at mid-wicket as the substitute for Pandya.
Virat had taken the new ball and only 4-5 overs remaining at the end of day's play. Ashwin bowled a half-tracker which Maharaj pulled towards Jadeja. Had he judged the ball, it would have been a simple catch. The left-arm spinner could not sight the ball as he even did not move an inch from his place. The reactions of Kohli and Ashwin were telling of the importance of this wicket.
