However, Team India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja made a spirited comeback to the Test side with an outstanding half-century on day three. His partner, debutant Hanuma Vihari also played splendid innings while playing his maiden Test.
Furthermore, England Jennings played all the five Test matches and scored 166 runs in the tournament. His highest individual score was 42 runs in the first innings at Edgbaston in Birmingham. He has been given opportunities to play all the five Test matches, but he failed to prove himself.

He was recognized in a season in which he had been the leading run-scorer in the competition with 1,548 runs at an average of 64.5 with seven hundred, including a double century against Yorkshire.
However, Cook is going to retire from International cricket after the last match against India. Meanwhile, Harbhajan asserted Jennings is also playing his final innings for England.
