The Lord's Test provided cricket enthusiasts worldwide with a real Test cricket thriller. Ravindra Jadeja rose to the occasion when India was in a deep trouble. Once India's batting collapsed, Jadeja demonstrated his experience and played one of his most crucial innings. Though wickets kept tumbling on the other end, Jadeja did not panic. He remained calm and fought till the end. His half-century brought India some hope, even though the team lost the match by 22 runs. Jadeja Reaches Big Milestone in Fourth Innings India was pursuing a target of 193 runs in the last innings of the third Test at Lord's. The beginning was not good as Yashasvi Jaiswal was out for a duck. Shubman Gill, Karun Nair, Akash Deep, and Rishabh Pant followed in quick succession. KL Rahul made 39 runs but also departed early on Day 5. Then Jadeja took over. He built two key alliances, one with young Nitish Kumar Reddy and the other with Jasprit Bumrah. Jadeja reached his half-century in the 68th over, keeping India's hopes alive. This was Jadeja's maiden fifty in the fourth innings of a Test, and he achieved a new milestone in his career. But there was more to come. With this fifty, Jadeja matched Sourav Ganguly's record of having four 50+ scores consecutively in Test matches played in England. Now only Rishabh Pant has done better with five.
