Manchester, July 27: Ravindra Jadeja etched his name alongside legends Wilfred Rhodes and Garry Sobers as only the third cricketer in history to score 1,000 runs and claim 30 wickets in a single overseas country — a remarkable achievement that underlines his all-round brilliance in England.
The feat was achieved during the second session of the final day of the fourth Test at Old Trafford, where Jadeja played a gritty, unbeaten knock of 107 to help India salvage a draw. His hundred not only frustrated the English attack but also became a milestone-laden innings.
With this century, Jadeja became the first Indian to score two Test tons in England while batting at No.6 or lower, further solidifying his reputation as one of India’s most dependable lower-middle-order batters in testing overseas conditions. (Agencies)
