Jadeja's 175* and 9-Wicket Haul Crush Sri Lanka in Mohali
Relive Ravindra Jadeja's all-round masterclass that left Sri Lanka helpless in the 2022 Mohali Test.
Ravindra Jadeja is back in India's Test squad for the upcoming Sri Lanka series, but it's his unforgettable performance from four years ago that fans still cherish. In the first Test of the 2022 series in Mohali, Jadeja produced a breathtaking all-round display, scoring an unbeaten 175 and taking nine wickets in the match, single-handedly dismantling the visitors.
After India lost early wickets, Jadeja walked in at 228/5. He stitched a 104-run partnership with Rishabh Pant before taking over completely. His century came off 160 balls, and he continued to attack, smashing 175 not out as India declared. The Sri Lankan bowlers had no answer to his aggressive strokeplay.
With the ball, Jadeja was equally devastating. He picked up a five-wicket haul in the first innings followed by four more in the second, finishing with match figures of 9/87. His spin bowling, with subtle variations in pace, left Sri Lanka's batsmen clueless as they crumbled to a heavy defeat.
