Jadeja bowled a usual delivery that did not turn and held its line as Jonathan Trott decided to let it go. In that process, he let the ball go on and castle his off-stump to give an ecstatic Jadeja his first Test wicket.
Jadeja also went on to dismiss the dangerous Kevin Pietersen to finish with first innings figures of two for 58. He cleaned up Pietersen in the second innings as well.
England broke a 28-year-old jinx by achieving a historic Test series win on Indian soil, leaving the hosts embarrassed with a 2-1 verdict in their favour after the fourth and final match ended in a draw.

Australia and New Zealand split points after rain played spoilsport in the trans-Tasman clash in Group A of the Champions Trophy at the Edgbaston on Wednesday.

Ian Bell scored 91 as England posted a challenging total of 269 for six against Australia in their Group A match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 tournament at Edgbaston on Saturday.
Bell, who recently scored 82 against New Zealand in the final match of the ODI series, kept the momentum going as he planned his innings perfectly but his dismissal led to a middle-order collapse which stopped England well short of the 300-run mark which looked inevitable at one stage.
Bell's partnership of 111 with Jonathan Trott, who made 43, was the backbone of the English innings as Ravi Bopara (46 no, 3x4, 1x6) struck a few meaty blows in the end. He added 56 runs for the unbroken seventh wicket stand with Tim Bresnan (19 no) after
