Pooja Vastrakar's runout will remind you of Ravindra Jadeja.

India all-rounder Pooja Vastrakar produced a stunning throw to find England opener Tammy Beaumont short of her crease during Day 2 of the ongoing one-off Test on Friday, December 15. She ran out Beaumont for just 10 runs (35 balls) with a direct hit.

The latter could have proved dangerous as she has a double century in Tests, which came against Australia Women during her last outing earlier this year.

The incident took place during the 19th over of England’s 1st innings. Rajeshwari Gayakwad bowled a full-length delivery on the legs and Natalie Sciver-Brunt guided it towards the leg side and took off for the run. Beaumont responded well, but Vastrakar quickly collected the ball and produced a direct hit to find the batter short of her crease. The sharp throw will remind you of Ravindra Jadeja's fielding briliance.

With the dismissal, India Women reduced England women to 79/3 after 18.5 overs.
