Ravindra Jadeja slammed his maiden Test century against the Windies on Day 2 of the ꦡfirst Test at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot.

The all-rounder reached the three-figure mark off 132 deliveries infront of his home crowd, smashing five fours a﷽nd five sixes. Soon after, Indian captain Virat Kohli, who scored his 24th Test ton earlier in the day, declared the Indian innings at 649/9.

Things turned jittery for India when Jadeja was on 99, as on-strike pace-bowler Mohammad Shami seemed ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚto wilt under the𝓰 pressure of West Indian Devendra Bishoo, whose deliveries almost spun square.

But later Jadeja drove Kraigg Brathwaite’s delivery towards mid-off to reach his first-ever century in the longest format of the game.

Jadeja’s career in all three formats hasn’t quite panned out the way he would have wished. But he does not whineℱ about it & gives his best wherever he gets a chance. I admire him for that. Congratulations to him on a maiden Test ton.👏👏👏🙏.

Would have been a travesty if Ravindra Jadeja wouldn't have got a Test hundred.
He'll finally no longer be the man with the three triple-hundreds at domestic level.

Not𓂃 scoring a hundred wasn’t really an option for Jadeja. He had his 100+ average at Rajkot to protect

Love watching Jadeja bat, he hasn't done justice to his batting potential for long. Hopefully, gets more in the coming time.
Played Sir, !
