IND vs NZ 3rd Test: Ravindra Jadeja bags another fifer as India’s MVP delivers again

Cometh the hour, Cometh the Man – Ravindra Jadeja yet again wove his magic as he went on to claim his 15th Test fifer. For the first time in his career, Jadeja has gone on to pick dual fifers in a Test match. And interestingly, he became only the second India to have this feat in IND vs NZ Tests after Ravi Ashwin.

India looked like their previous self in the IND vs NZ 3rd Test in Nagpur. After losing the series 2-0, India fought back hard. Ravindra Jadeja went on to bag a fifer and helped the Black Caps to be restricted to 235. And then on the second innings for the Kiwis, it was Jadeja who was once again the star of the show.

India’s Most Valuable Player

Ravindra Jadeja then bagged a stunning fifer as India bundled out New Zealand for a mere score of 174 runs. Be it with the bat or ball, Ravindra Jadeja has continued to deliver. But his most important heroics have come with the ball.

While India continues to struggle in a spin friendly track, it will be interesting to see how the team gears up when they travel to Australia for the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
