3 reasons why Ravindra Jadeja deserves more limelight

2. A batting explosion in the 2025 England Test series

Jadeja's batting in the 2025 India-England Test series, officially known as the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, was one of the standout individual performances of that summer. He scored 516 runs across the series, recording six scores of 50 or more, including five consecutive fifties and a solitary ton in Manchester. In doing so, he became the first batter ever to score six 50-plus scores in a single Test series in England while batting at No. 6 or lower, breaking Sir Garfield Sobers' record of five set in 1966.

The Saurashtra cricketer was also the first Indian to achieve six such scores in a Test series in England, surpassing the previous best of five shared by Sunil Gavaskar, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant. He finished as India's third-highest run-getter in the series, behind Shubman Gill and KL Rahul, and became the first Indian to score over 500 runs in a Test series while batting only at No. 6 or lower.
