WATCH: Ravindra Jadeja celebrates his century with Allu Arjun’s ‘Pushpa’ move, fans say ‘jhukega nahi…’
New Delhi: Veteran India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja completed his fifth Test century in style, hitting a six over long-on off England’s Harry Brook and celebrating in a unique manner. The left-handed all-rounder achieved the feat on Day 5 (Sunday, July 27) of the fourth Test versus England at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester.
On the third ball of the 141st over of India’s second innings, Brook delivered one up outside off. Jadeja danced down the track and struck it over long-on for a six to bring his hundred, which was scored on 182 balls.
What was Shubman Gill urging Ravindra Jadeja?
The 36-year-old avoided his signature sword dance this time and chose a Pushpa-like move instead as he tapped his bat on his forehead and then swept his bat sideways with swagger. Skipper Shubman Gill was playfully urging him on from the dressing room to attempt the traditional sword swirl.
