English bowlers prepared for India's top order but Ravindra Jadeja came out of syllabus. The 'Rockstar' tamed the Three Lions in the Birmingham Test and smashed his 3rd Test hundred and first outside India.
The all-rounder walked in with India wanting at 98/5 and first stitched a 222-run 6th wicket partnership with Rishabh Pant. He completed a memorable ton on Day 2 and helped India end at 416.
Jadeja's knock may have been overshadowed by Pant's heroics but in the context of the match, it was the most crucial innings played by Jaddu in his career.
