James Anderson Ridicules Ravindra Jadeja’s Sword Celebration Ball After Sarfaraz Khan Run Out- WATCH

James Anderson mocked Ravindra Jadeja who the batter's sword celebration after reaching a hundred despite Sarfaraz Khan's run-out a ball before.

Sarfaraz Khan has had an eventful international debut so far. The Mumbai batter took the attack to the opposition and brought up a half-century off just 48 deliveries. While he was looking set for an even bigger score, Sarfaraz got run out after a massive mix-up with Ravindra Jadeja who was batting on 99. Jadeja called for a run to which Sarfaraz was quick to respond. However, when the local hero realised that it was a tight call, he said 'no' but a little too late for Sarfaraz to get back to his crease on time.

A ball after Sarfaraz's run out, Jadeja brought up his century and then came up with his sword celebration. Even though the celebration seemed a bit subdued after the run-out, he nonetheless continued with the ritual for which he was seemingly mocked by James Anderson. The veteran England pacer and Jadeja even seemed to have exchanged a few words after the celebration from Jadeja, a video of which has surfaced online.

Take a look at the video here:
