Ravindra Jadeja equals Kohli and Dhoni's record
Ravindra Jadeja has performed brilliantly in the test match being played at Edgbaston in England. Jadeja, who scored a test century on this ground 2 years ago, scored another fifty plus. By scoring a half century, he has also equaled legends like Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni.
Ravindra Jadeja has moved to joint second on the list of Indian players with the most 50+ scores at Edgbaston. After the quick dismissals of Rishabh Pant and Nitish Kumar Reddy, Jadeja stepped up alongside skipper Shubman Gill. The duo stitched together a crucial century partnership for the sixth wicket, helping India recover and steady the innings.
Gill scored a brilliant century. On the other hand, Jadeja completed his half-century in the first session on the second day. With this half-century, Jadeja joined the list of players who have scored the most 50+ scores at Edgbaston along with legends like Dhoni and Kohli. Jadeja celebrated by swinging his bat like a sword after scoring a half-century in this match.
Meanwhile, Ravindra Jadeja played a composed and impressive innings on Day 2, scoring 89 before falling just 11 runs short of what could have been his second century at Edgbaston. Having already scored a ton at this venue, another hundred would have made him the first Indian to register multiple centuries at Edgbaston.
