When 20-year-old Ravindra Jadeja took a sharp catch to dismiss Sourav Ganguly for a duck in KKR vs RR match [Watch]

Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is known for his exceptional fielding and catching ability. Even as a youngster, he displayed the same, taking a fine catch to dismiss Sourav Ganguly for a duck as a 20-year-old during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2009 season.

Ravindra Jadeja was then a part of the Rajasthan Royals and the game was against Kolkata Knight Riders in Durban. Batting first, Rajasthan could muster only 101 runs for the loss of nine wickets

In the chase, Ganguly opened the batting for Kolkata. However, his stay at the crease was cut short as he was sent back for a three-ball duck on the final delivery of the over by Munaf Patel.

Using his feet, Ganguly tried to make room and cut the ball on the off-side. The ball went straight to Ravindra Jadeja at backward point, who took a sharp catch falling on his back to end the former Indian captain's innings.

While Kolkata went on to win the game eventually, Jadeja's brilliant catch to dismiss Ganguly for a duck remained one of the highlights of the game.
