Jadeja's experience, skillset rare: Gill
Orissa POST
|July 16, 2025
India skipper Shubman Gill lauded senior allrounder Ravindra Jadeja and the team’s lower order for keeping the contest alive and pushing the Lord’s Test into the final session, with India coming close to a remarkable victory before falling short by 22 runs.
Resuming from 58/4, England’s fast bowlers were right on the money as India were eight down when lunch break came. But Ravindra Jadeja refused to buckle in, hitting a gritty and magnificent 61 not out off 181 balls, stitching patient and resolute stands of 30, 35 and 23 with Nitish Reddy, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, respectively, to drag India close.
Despite Jadeja and the lower-order giving it their all, India were so close yet so far to registering a miraculous victory by being bowled out for 170 in 74.5 overs.
