Ravindra Jadeja came forward with a very important message for the cricket fans on social media.

'Runout matt hona': Ravindra Jadeja

Taking to Instagram, Jadeja urged people why they should not take the COVID-19 lightly and should think twice before leaving their homes as he posted a video of him effecting a brilliant run out to send Australian southpaw Usman Khawaja back to the pavilion during an ODI match against the Aussies Down Under last January. Khawaja after tapping the ball sets out for a quick single. However, a rocket-fast throw from the superstar all-rounder hits the bull's eye as the batsman fails to make it to the crease. Jadeja captioned the video as 'Runout matt hona'.

Jadeja will be next seen in action during the IPL 2020 where he will be expected to play an integral role in the side as the Chennai Super Kings will be eyeing a fourth IPL title.
