Ravindra Jadeja Shines in Virat’s 100^th Test

Kohli’s lack of century did not even end in his milestone test. Although he looked in sublime touch during his stay in the crease, he got out for 45 runs. Ravindra Jadeja though scored 175 runs taking the team total to 574 for 8. With a gigantic score on board India would look to dismiss Sri Lanka twice before the visitors cross their first innings total.
