Ravindra Jadeja once again proved his worth for Team India and scored a crucial fifty to put India on top in the third Test at Lord's. Jadeja bailed India out of trouble and got them close to England's first-innings total of 387. This was Jadeja's third consecutive fifty in the Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy.

Jadeja has been a magnificent contributor to Team India with the bat and ball. While he hasn't taken many wickets away from home, overall, considering the runs he saves in the field, he is very valuable for team India.

Ravindra Jadeja Scripts History

Meanwhile, this was Ravindra Jadeja's 15th Test fifty in the World Test Championship. He also has 130+ (134) wickets and over 2000 runs to his name. With his 15th fifty, he became the first player in the world to score 15 fifties and have over 130 wickets in WTC, proving his credentials as the top all-rounder.

Meanwhile, India find themselves on top in the Test. Starting the day at 145-3, India got off to a brilliant start, scoring over 100 runs in the first session. Pant was looking in ominous form but was run out for 74 on the last ball of the session. KL Rahul reached a stunning hundred in the second session but fell soon after. Jadeja held one end and stitched a crucial partnership with Nitish Reddy and Washington Sundar. India are just 35 runs away from England's score at the time of writing and looks good to take a healthy lead. The pitch is flat, so it's going to be tough for both teams.
