India vs Windies 2018: Twitter Cherishes as Ravindra Jadeja Scores Maiden Test Hundred

Ravindra Jadeja added salt to the injury to the Windies bowlers as he catapulted his attack on them. Jadeja reached his tenth Test fifty from 87 balls and followed it with his famous sword celebration. However, the southpaw batsman changed gears after his personal milestone. The left-hander scored the next 29 runs off just 15 balls as he made use of the long handle. Subsequently, Jadeja brought his maiden Test hundred as well.

Thus, it was a special moment for the Indian all-rounder. Meanwhile, Jadeja had the license to take the attack on the Windies bowlers. India is already in a commanding position as they have declared on a mammoth score of 649 runs.

Jadeja scores his maiden century.

In fact, Jadeja has had a good last one month. He had scored a fine knock of 86 runs in the final Test match at the Oval. Furthermore, he had done well in the recently concluded Asia Cup 2018. The all-rounder had scalped four wickets in the Super Four match against Bangladesh.

Therefore, Jadeja has been able to make a positive impact in the last one month. Meanwhile, Indian batsman continued to dictate terms to the Windies bowlers. Indian skipper Virat Kohli scored his 24 Test hundred whereas Rishabh Pant scored a blistering knock of 92 runs off just 84 balls.

Earlier on Day one, it was Prithvi Shaw’s show. The 18-year old prodigy batsman scored a fine hundred on his debut match.

Jadeja had the license.

Meanwhile, Ravindra Jadeja also went past his highest score of 90 runs which he had scored against England in Mohali. Jadeja made full use of the familiar conditions of his home ground. The all-rounder went on to score his maiden hundred in the red ball version as he once again brought out his sword celebration.

India scored a gargantuan total of 649 runs in the first innings and then finally declared.

Here is how Twitter reacted to Jadeja’s hundred:

Hey @BCCI atleast from now on please give this man Ravindra Jadeja enough opportunities. You can’t keep this talent away by dropping him in ODI‘s and benching him in away Test Matches. He has proved both in away and at Home Test matches #RavindraJadeja
