IND vs Engine 4th Test: Ravindra Jadeja’s fighting ton breaks the 23 -year Indian record. Cricket news

Ravindra Jadeja once again proved why he is one of India’s most valuable test players, who brings hundred to his fifth Test in an enthusiastic battle of 5 on the fourth Test against England in Old Trafford. His centenary centenary helped India push the game close to a draw after a morning season. Jadeja went with India under pressure, but did not allow the nerves to get better than that. He soaked the pressure and then started looking for his rhythm. In the test of God where he stood tall with the lower order, Jadeja displayed the same patience and square in Manchester.

This century is a special milestone in his career. He became the first Indian in 23 years, who scored more than 400 runs in the same Test series while batting at number 6 or less. It was VVS Laxman in the West Indies in 2002 to do this. Jadeja’s continuity has also been outstanding under foreign circumstances. He now has 12 fifty-Plus scores in army countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia), who bat only under the order behind MS Dhoni’s 13. It is more impressive that Jadeja has achieved it in just 47 innings. His recent run with BAT has been notable: 89, 69*, 72, 61*, 20, and now not 100. These are the number of players who are not only hanging around, but also shaping the results of the games.

Jadeja showed a lot of fighting in the post -lunch session with Washington Sundar. His partnership echoed KL Rahul and Shubman Gill, who were previously displayed in the innings. Despite Jadeja’s brave stand with Bumrah and Siraj, India can lose narrowly to Lord’s, but today, the story was different. The left -handed batsman batted with maturity and intentions, took India closer to security and gave fans another reason to praise his all -round talent.
