Ravichandran Ashwin was left disappointed during Day 2 of the first Test match between India and England on Friday after a horrible mix-up with Ravindra Jadeja led to his dismissal. During the 91st over of the Indian innings, Ashwin played a shot off Joe Root towards cover and went for a quick single. Jadeja initially responded to his call but turned back when the fielder quickly reached the ball and threw it to the wicket-keeper.

Ashwin stared at Jadeja after the dismissal and then walked back disappointed with the video of the whole incident going viral on social media.
