After the three players’ impressive performance in the first Test against Australia, Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar dubbed them “exceptional.”
India is currently leading the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, mostly due to the outstanding play of their older players. Already with fifty and five wickets, Ravindra Jadeja is having a fantastic game. Rohit Sharma, captain of the Indian cricket team, hit his ninth Test century. With his three wickets, Ravichandran Ashwin now has more than 450 in the Test format. Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar came up with a unique moniker for the dynamic duo and brotherhood after their recent success.
“RRR India’s success in this Test may be attributed in large part to Rohit, Ravindra, and Ravichandran. With his 100, @ImRo45 has set the tone, and our breakthroughs have come courtesy of @ashwinravi99 and @imjadeja in #INDvAUS “Tweeted Tendulkar.
In the series opener for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India ended day two with a commanding 144-run lead after posting a score of 321 for 7. India’s captain, Rohit Sharma, scored one of his most stunning Test hundreds under duress against a powerful Australian attack. As the first Indian skipper to reach a century in all three forms, Rohit’s (120) demeanor, and poise were exemplary.
Although Rohit’s century was the match’s highlight, Ravindra Jadeja’s (66 not out) 18th half-century was just as valuable. Any run scored by the all-rounder will count toward the final score.
For the sixth wicket, Jadeja added 61 runs with Rohit, and for the eighth wicket, he added 81 runs with Axar Patel (52 batting), who is also playing a great hand.
The Indian batting lineup, led by Rohit and Jadeja, piled up 244 runs on the board on day two, but it was an exhausting battle.
The Indian captain was the epitome of focus as his team struggled to score runs on a slow surface.
