Ranvindra Jadeja’s Insane Innings in India vs England, “Don Bradman Would Look From Above..” Says Ravi Shastri

Summary: Ravindra Jadeja gives an insane performance during India vs England 3rd Test Series.

Ravindra Jadeja has some crazy numbers in Rajkot, his homeplace. Be it Test Cricket or Ranji Trophy, he has played some insane innings. Jadeja has such an amazing record at Saurashtra Cricket Association stadium, renamed Niranjan Shah Stadium for the 3rd India vs England, that coach Ravi Shashtri feels that even Don Bradman would be proud of him.

Looking at the scores right before Jadeja was nearing to complete his century, when the scores of all players were flashed on the board Ravi Shastri couldn’t resist it and expressed this, “Look at that average. He could make even Don Bradman look from above.”

On the first day of the third Test, Jadeja came out to bat at no.5 when India was at 33/3 in the first hour of the match. Previously Jadeja had the average of 135 in the 17 red ball matches that he played at the same venue. Jadeja collects numbers in Rajkot like it’s his birthright, and the fans are absolutely impressed by it. The last time he picked his bat in Rajkot, he was not out twice and once he even scored a century against West Indies.

However on the first day of the third test match, when India was at 33/3 and Mark Wood and James Anderson were spitting fire with their amazing bowling skills, India was in need of a partnership and that too a big one, and Jadeja delivered it. With Jadeja at one end and captain Rohit Sharma on the other end, they both delivered a partnership of 204 runs, with Rohit Sharma’s 131 runs.

After Rohit Sharma got out for 131, the Debutant Sarfaraz Khan, put out a score of 62 runs, making a 77 run partnership with Ravindra Jadeja. Jadeja carved his fourth Test century, second in Rajkot, with an average of 245. For the second he will be batting at 110, with Kuldeep Yadav.
