Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja scored 112 runs in the first innings against England in the Rajkot test.

After missing the Visakhapatnam test match of the ongoing five-match series against the English side due to hamstring injury, veteran Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja came out gun blazing in the ongoing crucial third test match at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot, which started on February 15, Thursday.

After winning the toss and opting to bat, India were rocked back by the visitors and were reduced 33/3, with Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Rajat Patidar getting dismissed cheaply on the first session of day 1.

Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who came to bat at No. 5 with India having just scored 33/3 in 8.5 overs, stitched up a valuable partnership of 204 runs with Indian skipper Rohit Sharma, who also notched up a brilliant century in the first innings.

In the last session of day 1, Jadeja got to his fourth test hundred. During his stay at the crease, Jadeja hammered 112 runs off 225 balls, including nine fours and two sixes. His stunning knock eventually helped India reach 445 runs in the first innings.
