It was a mixed feeling for Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who completed his century on Day 1 of the IND vs ENG 3rd Test in Rajkot on Thursday.
The star all-rounder did a subdued sword celebration following the unfortunate run-out of debutant Sarfaraz Khan, who was looking set for a century on his Test debut.
However, despite Jadeja’s muted celebration, England pacer James Anderson didn’t shy away from mocking the Indian batter and taunted him for doing his signature celebration.
