Ravindra Jadeja Celebration

India National Cricket Team all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has yet again scored crucial runs for his team in Test cricket. The Southpaw came up with a stellar effort with the bat in the ongoing first Test against the Bangladesh National Cricket Team, which is underway at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Ravindra Jadeja has slammed a magnificent half-century for his team in the ongoing game against Bangladesh. The all-rounder, who is rated as India's lower-order batter, made sure that he carries his golden touch with the bat and continues doing good work for his team in the whites.

Ravindra Jadeja yet again bailed the team out of trouble and made sure that he put them in a strong position. The left-hander came to bat after India lost 5 quick wickets and left reeling at 144/5, and after that, it has been all about him along with Ravichandran Ashwin, who also slammed a terrific half-century.

Jadeja soaked in all the pressure and put his team in the driver's seat. He slammed a wonderful half-century for his team in 73 balls and registered his 21st fifty in the longest format of the game for the India National Cricket Team.

As he brought up his half-century, he came up with his trademark sword celebration that entertained the crowd. The all-rounder also got great appreciation from the Indian dressing room as he played a magnificent innings for his team.

Here's the video:

Jadeja, along with Ravichandran Ashwin, has put on over 150 runs partnership and has made the Bangladesh bowlers frustrated. Their effort with the bat has powered India over 300 runs, which at one moment seemed impossible, especially with the top 6 getting out quickly.

Jadeja, along with Ashwin, has been playing the aggressive brand of cricket. The duo made sure right from the start that they wouldn't leave the scoring opportunities. They attacked spinners in particular and didn't let them settle at all. Both have displayed magnificent displays of batting.

Ravindra Jadeja on the verge of completing 300 Test wickets

Jadeja also will be important for his team with the ball in the ongoing Test as well as the entire series. With spin expected to come into play from Day 2, the all-rounder would be a vital cog in the wheel for his team.

Jadeja is also on the verge of achieving a massive milestone in Test cricket. The all-rounder is just 6 wickets away from competing 300 wickets for India in the longest format of the game. The Southpaw has picked 294 wickets to his name in 72 Tests he has played so far.

If Jadeja achieves the feat, he will become the seventh Indian bowler after Kapil, Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Ashwin, and Ishant Sharma to achieve the feat. He will also become only the third Indian cricketer after Kapil and Ashwin to complete a double of 3000 runs and 300 wickets.
