 "'Greatest all-rounder of this generation': Ravindra Jadeja refuses to celebrate his fifty as India continue to fight at Lord's")
Ravindra Jadeja showed his calm and focus as he completed a fighting half-century on Day 5 of the third Test between India and England at Lord’s. There was no celebration from the all-rounder, who is famous for his sword celebration after reaching a fifty. Jadeja stayed silent this time, knowing India still had a tough job to finish.
India were chasing 193 for victory but lost early wickets. At one point, they were 71 for 5, and by the time Jadeja reached his fifty, India had already lost 9 wickets and were still over 40 runs away from the target. He brought up his half-century with a top-edged four off Ben Stokes, but didn’t raise his bat or smile.

This was Jadeja’s fourth consecutive 50-plus score in England, putting him in an elite list with Rishabh Pant and Sourav Ganguly. Only Pant (5) has more such scores for India in England. Netizens are lauding Jadeja’s effort as he is trying his best to win this Test for India with the series tied at 1-1.

India went to tea with 163/9 on the board, still 30 runs away from the target. Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Siraj are fighting hard to win this match. England, on the other hand, need just one wicket to take the lead in the series. India lost only one wicket after lunch — that of Jasprit Bumrah, who was dismissed after forging a crucial stand with Jadeja, even though he did not contribute much in terms of runs.
It is now only a matter of one ball as 30 runs are a lot in this context, considering Jadeja is thinking of batting in the same tempo. If India want to win this match, Jadeja will have to take the attack on the English bowlers. England still hold the upper hand in the this game as of now.
