Ravindra Jadeja is showing no signs of slowing down. While teammates Rohit Sharm and Virat Kohli have retired from Test cricket after a dip in form, Jadeja is enjoying one of the best batting runs of his career. Once known mainly as a bowling all‑rounder, he has now proved himself as a complete batter.
His latest fifty at The Oval is his fifth of the England tour, along with a fine hundred. This makes him the first Indian to score over 500 runs in a Test series while batting at No. 6 or lower. He has scored runs in almost every match, missing a fifty only once at Leeds where he was still unbeaten on 25.
At Edgbaston and Lord’s, he made twin fifties, at Old Trafford he hit a century, and now he ends the tour with another important half‑century. Coming in at 229/5 in the final Test, Jadeja steadied the innings and then played his shots. On a tough second‑innings pitch, he once again proved why he’s been India’s most reliable player this series.
