Soon after the commencement of play on Day 2, Ravindra Jadeja reached the fifty-run mark, his first in the series. And what followed once he hit fifty was the royal celebration, which he is known for. The sword swinging act has been Jadeja’s go-to celebration on achieving any milestone with the bat, and this time it was nothing different in Birmingham. Here’s how the Indian all-rounder celebrated after he got to the half-century mark.
The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder looked pretty solid, right from when he came in to bat. Rishabh Pant and Nitish Kumar Reddy both lost their wickets in succession, and the pressure was mounting on the Indians. That is when Jadeja walked in to bat, and put together a very important stand with skipper Gill. The score, when he walked in to bat, read 211/5. This was the 23rd fifty in his Test career, and the seventh on English soil. Jadeja has also registered a couple of hundreds in England. One of these has come at the same venue as this Test match. India will hope for a similar contribution from him.
ALSO READ:
The 36-year-old is one of the most important all-rounders for India in all formats of the game. He is a superb fielder and is also known for his ability to get through his overs very quickly. Jadeja’s accuracy is his strength when it comes to bowling, and he can test the patience of batters by bowling in the same channel repeatedly. In 121 Test innings, he has scored more than 3400 runs at an average of around 35 with a highest score of 175*. As far as the wickets column is concerned, he has racked up 324 wickets in the longest format at an economy of just 2.54.
