Let us tell you that, apart from being an all-rounder, Jadeja is also the world's number 1 fielder. Due to which it is very difficult to find his replacement. However, in the second ODI match, the team's star batsman Shreyas Iyer reminded all the fans of Ravindra Jadeja with his fielding.

Superb fielding by Shreyas Iyer

Team India batsman Shreyas Iyer did a great fielding in the second ODI match and ran out the Sri Lankan batsman. Actually, Kamindu Mendis wanted to take 2 runs on the 5th ball of the 50th over.

But Shreyas Iyer stationed at deep wicket immediately went towards the ball and hit a direct hit and ran out Mendis. Iyer reminded us of Ravindra Jadeja with his direct hit. Because, Jadeja has run out batsmen many times with his direct hit. Due to which it is now believed that Iyer can become the next Jadeja of Team India's fielding.
