Ravindra Jadeja was seen having some fun interaction with umpire Chris Gaffaney during Day 4 of the ongoing India vs England Test match at Edgbaston in Birmingham. The cameras spotted Jadeja having a light-hearted moment with the on-field umpire Gaffaney.

The umpire was seen resettling the bails on top of the stumps when Jadeja walked over to have a word. He then began to playfully poke the experienced umpire as both had smiles on their faces. Stump mics also picked up Jadeja seemingly saying, “Huh! I’m cheating?” Although clearly in a humorous tone in some light-hearted ribbing from the umpire from New Zealand, it wasn’t clear what was said between the two.

Jadeja shared a fun moment with Gaffaney even earlier in the series.

The cricketer and the umpire also shared a nice moment during the Headingley Test match, when India successfully managed to get the ball changed after it had lost hope. The umpires then finally agreed to a different ball provided to India. Jadeja went over to celebrate the fact with a smiling Gaffaney, who saw the funny side of things.

Earlier in the match, Jadeja was also involved in a controversy. Captain Ben Stokes had taken issue with Jadejaseemingly running over the danger area a few times while batting. The Indian spinner revealed he was irked by Stokes trying to make a mountain out of a molehill by taking the matter to the umpires repeatedly.
