The joy of watching India play on a pitch that assists their spinners was in full evidence on day three in Kanpur as there was help for Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja right from the first ball.
Ravindra Jadeja tormented New Zealand batsmen in tandem in an 11-over spell on the third morning of the Kanpur Test on Saturday. Here is the unbelievable delivery of Jadeja for a hat-trick. Watch the video here.

In fact, Jadeja could have become the third Indian bowler to take a hat-trick in Tests after Harbhajan Singh and Irfan Pathan if he had planned the fourth delivery of his last over better. Off the second ball, he trapped left-hander Mark Craig in front. Ish Sodhi was gone first ball, failing to read another quick one to also fall leg before.
However, for the hat-trick delivery to tail-ender Trent Boult, Jadeja tossed up a straight one, which the batsman defended easily.
