India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has yet again justified his batting credentials after scoring his second Test century on the second day of the first Test of the ongoing Sri Lanka’s tour of India in Mohali.
Jadeja, who had scored 45* on Day 1, batted with utter comfort on Saturday. It was only in the second over of the day that Jadeja hit Sri Lanka fast bowler Suranga Lakmal for a boundary to reach the 50-run mark.
Jadeja, 33, who has been in tremendous batting form in this format of late, didn’t let go of a batting opportunity this time as well. In what appeared to be like an effortless effort, Jadeja’s innings was an apt combination of scoring boundaries and running singles and doubles.
It was right before the lunch break that Jadeja ran a single off Sri Lanka spinner Lasith Embuldeniya to complete his second Test century. Jadeja, whose first Test century was 100* (132), didn’t take much time before registering a career-best Test score.
Having put on display his quintessential sword celebration upon completing a half-century, Jadeja celebrated his century in the same but an even grander manner at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium.
