Ravindra Jadeja Shines in Historic Test Series Against England
India's all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has broken records and earned high praise during the 2025 India tour of England. The left-handed batsman became the first Indian cricketer to score over 500 runs in a Test series batting at No. 6 or lower down the order.
Jadeja's historic feat came in the fifth Test at The Oval, where he continued his prolific run-scoring in the series with one century and four fifties. His highest score was 107 not out in the fourth Test at Manchester. This achievement also made him the third batter from either side in the series to pass 500 runs, alongside Shubman Gill and KL Rahul.
Sachin Tendulkar, the legendary Indian cricketer, praised Jadeja's performance, describing it as "amazing." Tendulkar also highlighted Jadeja's ability to "rattle the opposition" through his fielding, batting, or bowling. Jadeja took seven wickets during the series, including a four-wicket haul in the fourth Test at Manchester.
Jadeja's contributions were crucial in the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series, earning him the title of ICC No.1 Ranked Test all-rounder. Tendulkar also praised Jadeja's organized gameplay, strategic decisions, and use of experience.
Meanwhile, another young talent Washington Sundar also caught Tendulkar's eye during the series. Sundar was credited for tiring out England players, particularly in the last Test. Tendulkar noted that Sundar and Jadeja continued batting with the mindset of drawing the Test match. Sundar was also praised for his ability to switch gears and contribute to the team, especially during the last Test where he provided crucial runs.
Tendulkar highlighted that Sundar did not face Harry Brook when he started to bat during the series. However, Sundar's ability to accelerate and provide crucial runs during the last Test was commendable, according to Tendulkar.
India's cricketing journey continues as they prepare for Test cricket against West Indies in October, followed by a two-Test series against South Africa in November. The team's stellar performances in the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series bode well for these upcoming matches.
Sports excellence was on display throughout the 2025 India tour of England, with Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar leading the charge. Jadeja's historic batting performance, which saw him score over 500 runs in the Test series, earned him the title of ICC No.1 Ranked Test all-rounder, demonstrating his versatility and impact on the field.
