Sir Ravindra Jadeja tilted his head with a knock of 61 runs to England

What is legend! Jeet or necklace, this innings of Ravindra Jadeja will be kept in India’s test history. Chasing 193 seemed quite easy in Lord’s, but this work became monumental by the end of 4 days. The sky is going deep or not helped.

By the time Jadeja went in the middle at 71/5. In the next four overs, India lost 2 more wickets as KL Rahul and Washington Sundar. Suddenly, the score was 82/7. If England had rolled India for under 100, it would not have shocked anyone, given how well they were bowling and there was a amount of pressure under visitors.

Then Sir Ravindra Jadeja woke up. While England tested Nitish Kumar Reddy with balls and words, Jadeja was standing there like a rock. Nitish studied himself after testing and when India was raising its expectations, it fell. Just 3 balls away from lunch.

Jadeja hopes for India

At this stage, 82 runs were still needed. Jadeja was batting at 17 and had already played 53 balls. England needed 2 wickets in 2 sessions. Jadeja’s partner Jasprit Bumrah scored 0 runs in his last 3 innings. The next batsman Mohammad Sirj scored just 11 runs for his name in 4 innings.

Many people must have assumed that there would be a miracle in 10 overs how India’s tail performed. But Jadeja stood there like a rock. The ball was also softened by now and was not really doing any move, especially for the fast bowlers. For everyone’s surprise, Bumrah was not just alive, but some people may also be rich.

He alone faced 54 balls. Only once he faced more delivery in an innings. With Jadeja, Pesar scored 35 runs in 22 overs. The more he batted, the more disappointed England. After suffering from the short ball, Bumrah finally gave and played a staining bridge.

England was 1 wicket away. India needed 46 runs. Jadeja was at 42. A few overs later, he brought his fifty. But he knew that the work was not done. The all -rounder did not bring out his sword function as he usually does. 36 runs were still needed. England was targeting Sirj with a short ball but put it.

Since Jadeja was finding it difficult to hit the ball, which had become soft, and the ground had spread, each run matured. Long -term playing was the way to win. Jadeja was performing it completely. By the time tea was taken, India needed 30 runs to win and Jadeja already played 162 balls. For comparison, the entire team played 420 balls.

Luck takes it away

India continued, where they left. Siraj blocked and at the same time Jadeja slowly pushed the game forward. And then in the 75th over, the tragedy took place. After a solid defense from Sirj from a small and bouncing ball from Bashir, the ball fell and sometime fell on the stump. A single ball fell and England went on one run.

Siraj sat in despair. Joe Root and Zak Croly also came to create her. Jadeja looked at the sky, in disappointment. He remained unbeaten at the age of 61, but all his efforts were wasted, as England won by 22 runs. But for about 3 hours, everything was in his grip. They can remember Stokes more than one. When he wanted, he disappoints England by taking a single. The Monin of ‘Sir’ was never more qualified for Ravindra Jadeja at Lord’s.
