Centurion Ravindra Jadeja Gets Cleaned Up By James Anderson On Day 2 Of The Edgbaston Test

ENG vs IND – On the second day of the final test between England & India, team India’s all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja smacked a classy ton. Before getting dismissed for 104 runs, Jadeja took on all the English bowler, smacking them all for runs. Jadeja’s trememndous knock was brought to a stop by the ace pacer James Anderson. In an effort to play a big shot, Jadeja lost his wicket. However, the way James Anderson dislodged Jadeja’s bails was worth watching. 

On the second delivery of the 83rd over, Ravindra Jadeja was completely beaten. Anderson bowled a full delivery which swung in the air. Jadeja went for the heave across the line & missed it completely. The ball managed to beat Jadeja’s bat’s inside edge and trimmed the top of middle stump.

While speaking to reporters after stumps on Day 2 at a press conference, Anderson had said: “In the past he was coming at 8, bat with the tail so he had to chance his arm a little bit, whereas now at 7 he can bat like a proper batter. He leaves really well and made it difficult for us.”

When Jadeja was asked about his comment at a press conference on Saturday, he said: “See, when you score runs, everyone says they think of themselves as a proper batter. But I’ve always tried to give myself time at the crease, to set a partnership with whoever is at the crease, to play with him. It’s nice Anderson has realised that after 2014.”
