'Kuch Kaam...': Ravindra Jadeja Refuses Shubman Gill's Fielding Plan, Video Viral
Stump mics captured a viral chat between Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja during India's 336-run win over England.
The stump mics have been kept turned up in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, catching various fascinating titbits of discussions between the players. In the Edgbaston Test, which concluded with a huge 336-run win for India on Sunday, one such chat between skipper Shubman Gill and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja went viral.
It happened during the partnership between Ben Stokes and Jamie Smith in the final innings. Gill, standing at slips, seemed to urge Jadeja to move the long-on fielder up to entice the English captain to loft one. But Jadeja gently denied it, explaining why that idea wouldn't work.
Watch the video here:
Gill was heard saying: 'Jaddu bhai, usko bhi upar lelo yaar. Marne do ek aage badhke (Jadeja brother, bring him up too. Let him try hitting one by stepping out)"
Jadeja replied: ' Usko udhar kuch kaam nahi hai. Atleast jaaye toh pakadne wala bhi toh hona chaiye niche. Khada toh udhar bhi kardo, but pakadne wala toh chahiye (He's of no use over there. At least if the ball goes that way, someone should be there to catch it. You can place him there, sure, but there should be someone ready to catch)."
Although such conversations are normal between a captain and a bowler on the cricket field, it shows the interesting dynamic of constructive discussion to the audience. Gill and Jadeja starred in the win, with the former racking up 269 and 161 runs in the two innings and the latter also notching 89 and 69*, alongside one wicket, of Josh Tongue, in the last essay.
Stokes eventually got out to Washington Sundar's well-disguised arm ball and Smith, though crossing 80 again, couldn't take England close to the mammoth 608-run target.
This was India's biggest win in overseas Tests. They'll next play at Lord's starting from Thursday, July 10, with the series currently leveled at 1-1.

Laura Siegemund, who made Wimbledon QF at 37 – ‘I have game, boldness to take out big names on the other side. In a positive, respectful way I don't care'
Her name might have Siegemund but she isn't overtly in thrall of psychology. Wimbledon witnessed a novelty in a 37-year-old woman making the quarterfinals of the women's singles, and rose in applause as German Laura Siegemund defeated Solana Sierra 6-3, 6-2, with a tricky game. The winner of three Grand Slam titles in doubles (one women's, two mixed), Siegemund was a hoot in her post match after denying Sierra net approaches 15 times out of 19, and lobbying over her cheekily and with an array of passing shots that delighted for their angles. Making Last 8, she was surprised by the popularity coming her way. 'It's an honour. I want to say it's not often that you get such a compliment for being old,' she chuckled, before slashing at giving undue importance to her academic record. She has a degree in psychology and the interviewer very naturally asked if it helped her in tight situations. "I'm a fighter" 💪 She might be the oldest player left in the Ladies' Singles draw, but Laura Siegemund is not going anywhere after booking her place in the quarter-finals – and the #Wimbledon crowd love her for it! 😁 — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 6, 2025 'Oh I've been saying in many, many interviews over many many years that a psychology degree in this kind of moment …really it's worth absolutely nothing,' she said as the Centre Court crowd guffawed. 'Everyone that's good at their job and is a pro in whatever they do, they know that knowing something and being able to perform are two completely different things. If not, everyone who knows how to play an amazing forehand would play an amazing forehand. So that's two different things.' However, she insisted neither age , nor a formal degree had anything to do with her personality. 'But obviously over time I just have that in me, even as a youngster, I am just mentally very tough. And I'm a fighter. And I learn better to stay in the moment. And I said earlier I'm just focussing on me. There's not much more I have to prove but there are some moments where you want to win so bad you get greedy and it's important to let go of that greed. If you are ready to accept the good matches to lose, then you are ready to win. That's what I try to remember in big moments,' she said. Siegemund won 5/8 of her breakpoints and 6/9 net approaches, and will run into tournament favourite Aryna Sabalenka next. She told reporters reputations didn't faze her. 'I have this game and this maybe boldness—I don't know if that's the right word in English—to take out big names. I've always had that,' stated Siegemund. 'Just maybe because I don't care who is on the other side. In a positive, respectful way I don't care.' Just look at what it means to Laura Siegemund 🇩🇪#Wimbledon — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 6, 2025 Her reactions post winning were an emoji scroll, the Korean heart, the 'well, can't help being cool' shrug and the first pump as she became the oldest female left in the draw now. Her game is indescribable as much as it is unconventional. While the deep passing shots from baseline made highlights, whole ending the Lucky loser Cinderella story of Solana Sierra, Siegemund got 89 percent first serves in, and won points off 69. As per tennisletter, Siegemund prefers clay a long time and has found success on it, and grass was always tough to negotiate. But here she was. 'I felt like I never have really enough time to kind of get confidence from my grass game, and maybe the precision here and there and when to do what,' she said. 'This time that I had already a few matches in Nottingham, and I felt that I had more matches, and I had more opportunity to get this confidence, and it's showing, yeah.' What Siegemund is more known for are her frequent run-ins with opponents, though she asserts they are not of her making. One controversy involved a double-bounce against Kristina Mladenovic at 2020 French Open, and a 2023 US Open dustup with Coco Gauff. These concern the long time she takes between points, which saw Gauff complain to chair umpire Marijana Veljović. Siegemund does it in straight sets 👊 Laura Siegemund defeats Solana Sierra 6-3, 6-2 to advance to her first ever #Wimbledon quarter-finals 👏 — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 6, 2025 Coming from Filderstadt, in South Germany near Stuttgart, Siegemund accepts she has always been 'slow', and cops time violations, which she realises annoys opponents though she defends it by saying her weirdness is consistent. 'I know that I have some very controversial, like, habits, let's say. The only thing that I can say about them, they are really about me. I don't try to disturb anyone, although that might be interpreted like that. I'm pretty consistent with my weirdness that I have, let's say (laughing). It's nothing. I do it for me and not against other ones, but it does lead to confrontation sometimes. Then I'm just, like, Well, that's how I am,' she said. World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka got asked about her next opponent. 'I'll just show her that she doesn't annoy me. I played against a lot of tricky players who is doing all of those slice shots, approaching the net, going for lobs. I think mentally I know how to approach these players,' the thrice Grand Slam champ said. 'My focus going to be on myself. I really hope that I'm not going to waste my energy on focusing on another side,' she reiterated of not being spooked. Siegemund though can get tough to ignore and at 37 loves tennis the way it ought to be. So she signed off as someone who respectfully doesn't care.

‘Duster' series review: Rachel Hilson's sass and Josh Holloway's laidback charm rock the retro ride
From the title sequence featuring a miniature car race, with the King's famous Blue Suede Shoes swinging jauntily from the telephone wires, to the music and costumes, J. J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan's Duster, brings 1972 Phoenix, Arizona to thrilling life. Duster (English) Season 1 Episodes: 8 Creators: J. J. Abrams, LaToya Morgan Starring: Josh Holloway, Rachel Hilson, Asivak Koostachin, Sydney Elisabeth, Benjamin Charles Watson, Camille Guaty, Adriana Aluna Martinez, Greg Grunberg, Keith David Runtime: 52 minutes Storyline: A driven FBI agent co-opts a skilled getaway driver into helping her bring down a crime boss Nina Hayes (Rachel Hilson), the first Black female FBI agent (supposedly loosely modelled on Sylvia Elizabeth Mathis) right out of Quantico, asks to be posted to Phoenix. She faces chauvinism with a smile, a sharp wardrobe, and a sharper mind. She is determined to bring down Ezra Saxton (Keith David), a crime boss whose power and influence are increasing by the day. No one at her office believes she can do it, as others have tried and failed — with the last agent on the Saxton case losing his mind and getting locked up in an asylum. Nina's boss, Nathan Abbott (Greg Grunberg), tries to be supportive of her even as he has to answer to his superiors, while the other male agents, including Chad Grant (Dan Tracy), are openly hostile. Only Awan Bitsui (Asivak Koostachin), a Navajo, who also does not get any respect from the other agents, supports Nina. Even though not as willing to colour outside the lines as Nina, Awan is a loyal partner and follows Nina to the end. Nina feels the only way to crack the Saxton case open is through a mole, and she identifies Saxton's getaway driver, Jim (Josh Holloway), for the job. We first meet Jim as he is driving his red 1970 Plymouth Duster like a bat out of hell. We learn that he has to pick up a time-critical package. In the car is Luna (Adriana Aluna Martinez), Jim's ex Izzy's (Camille Guaty) daughter. Nine-year-old Luna loves to ride with her Uncle Jim, and he obliges her whenever possible. We learn that Jim is going to take delivery of a heart for Saxton's son, Royce (Benjamin Charles Watson), who has a congenital heart disease. The heart transplant is conducted in Saxton's mansion, with Jim pumping the heart to get it beating again. Ezra's daughter, Genesis (Sydney Elisabeth), is the brains and a more than capable heir — if not for her gender. After all, this is the '70s we're talking about. Jim's family, including his father Wade (Corbin Bernsen) and brother, Joe, have been working for Saxton. Joe died on the job, and Nina figures out a way to turn Jim with some information she has. Charlotte (Gail O'Grady), Wade's wife, is not particularly fond of Jim, and the feeling is mutual. Billy (Evan Jones), Ezra's muscle man, is unpredictable and suspicious of everyone, including Jim. Throw in dirty cops, including a particularly nasty one, Groomes (Donal Logue), a conspiracy from the highest powers, Elvis Presley's Blue Suede Shoes, a discussion on Pitirim Sorokin's six types of mobility, and Howard Hughes, and you are guaranteed one hell of a ride. The period detail is exquisite but lived-in, from the music (Jimi Hendrix's 'Foxey Lady', Presley's 'Teddy Bear', Chakachas' 'Jungle Fever', and more), clothes (shorts, scarves, wide collars, and flared trousers), and movie references to delightful blasts from the past — including a Rolodex and Agent Bitsui's Superman wallet. There is also Hughes in all his eccentric glory, insisting the suitcase be handled with tissue, his visitors wash their hands four times, while also giving Luna a taste of the millionaire lifestyle with the 350 gallons of banana nut ice cream he has stashed and a screening of Bullitt, that ultimate car chase movie with the king of cool, Steve McQueen, as the eponymous San Francisco cop. ALSO READ:'Nine Perfect Strangers' Season 2 review: Mark Strong and Nicole Kidman's wig sizzle in quasi cosy crime saga The acting is spot on, and it is difficult to draw the eyes away from Holloway's easy rider and Hilson's uncompromising politeness and charm. Duster, with its muscle cars and retro vibes (I almost expected Amitabh Bachchan as the laconic, dangerous Vijay to lock the godown door and ask Peter to try and take the keys from him), is a blast from the past in a million delicious ways. Can Season 2 come already? Duster is currently streaming on Jio Hotstar
