WATCH: Jadeja's Sliding Catch To Dismiss England Skipper Jos Buttler In 3rd ODI
Jos Buttler was the top scorer for England in the 3rd ODI against India, and was dismissed courtesy of an excellent catch by Ravindra Jadeja.
ENG vs IND - With the ODI series levelled at 1-1, the 3rd and decider ODI is underway with both teams giving their all to win the ODI series. After England's top order except Jason Roy failed, captain Jos Buttler had the onus to perform well as he smacked a half-century. However, the England batter had to go back to the pavilion courtesy of an excellent catch by Ravindra Jadeja.
Jos Buttler came in to bat when England were at 66/3 in 9.5 overs. Even though Indians kept picking up wickets, Buttler first etched a partnership of 75 runs with Moeen Ali for the 5th wicket and a 49-run partnership with Livingstone for the 6th wicket.

Buttler was on song after completing his fifty and was looking to up the run rate. Consequently, he went after Hardik Pandya on a flat track. On the last delivery of the 37th over, Pandya bowled a short ball outside off. Buttler pulled at it and smacked it in the air as it went off the top of the bat.
Ravindra Jadeja, fielding at deep square leg sprinted to his left and took a fine two-handed catch on the slide, ending up near deep mid-wicket. When the ball came off the bat it looked to fall safe but Jadeja's athleticism sent back the English skipper for 60 runs off 80 balls with 3 fours & 2 sixes.
A fine catch from Jadeja removes Buttler.
