Chasing 193, India crumbled early but Jadeja stood firm, joining KL Rahul to steady the innings before taking charge after Rahul’s dismissal for 39
With crucial stands alongside Nitish Reddy and Jasprit Bumrah, Jadeja kept India`s hopes alive on a deteriorating Lord’s pitch against a fiery English attack
In the 68th over, Jadeja reached a valiant fifty, his first-ever in the fourth innings
Jadeja’s fighting half-century was not just timely, but historic too, as it marked his fourth consecutive 50+ score on English soil
With that knock, Jadeja equalled Sourav Ganguly’s elite record of four successive fifties in England; only Rishabh Pant (5) stands ahead in the tally
