Ravindra Jadeja breaks Sunil Gavaskar, Virat Kohli's legendary record in England

Ravindra Jadeja has been sensational for India in the ongoing five-match series against England. There were doubts about the future of the all-rounder, but he rose to the occasion and silenced the critics with consistent performance in the series. The Shubman Gill-led side particularly focused on their batting, and it was Jadeja, who provided the much-needed cushion, as he hit six 50+ scores, which is the most by an Indian batter in a Test series in England.

Legendary Indian batters Sunil Gavaskar and Virat Kohli had each recorded five 50-plus scores during their respective tours of England in 1979 and 2018. In the ongoing 2025 series, wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant also matched that tally before missing the fifth Test due to a foot injury. However, Jadeja managed to go one step further.

His composed knock of 53 off 77 balls in the third innings at The Oval



marked his sixth 50-plus score of the series, taking him past all three and setting a new benchmark for India in a Test series in England.
