London, July 26, 2025 — Star Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja etched his name in the history books on Saturday by becoming the first cricketer in 93 years to record six fifty-plus scores in a single India-England Test series. The milestone came during his composed half-century at The Oval in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
Jadeja, currently ranked as the world’s number one Test all-rounder, achieved the feat during a crucial phase of the match, reinforcing his status as one of India’s most dependable players in the longest format. With this latest innings, he not only reached his sixth 50-plus score of the series but also surpassed the 500-run mark in the five-match contest.
He now stands as India’s third-highest run-scorer in the series, behind captain Shubman Gill (754 runs) and opener KL Rahul (532 runs). This exceptional consistency with the bat underlines Jadeja’s evolution into a premier Test batsman, in addition to his already established prowess with the ball.
The ongoing series, named in honor of cricketing greats James Anderson and Sachin Tendulkar, has witnessed several standout performances. Jadeja’s record-setting run places him in a league of his own. His all-around contributions have been pivotal to India’s competitiveness in the high-profile series.
