Watch: Ravindra Jadeja Gets Alastair Cook Out For The 5th Time In This Series

Indian spinner Ravindra Jadeja has got England’s captain Alastair Cook out for the 5th time in this series. Indian Test captain Virat Kohli took an easy catch at slip to dismiss him for a personal score of 10.

During the On-going 5th & Final Test match, England won the toss and decided to bat first. Their start was not good as both openers departed when England’s score was only 21. Ishant Sharma, who is making a comeback, got Jennings out.

Like on other occasions, Cook looked completely at sea against Jadeja’s spin after becoming the first English batsman to reach 11,000 runs.

But, Ravindra Jadeja continues to be the man to find Alastair Cook’s Achilles’ Heel. During the second session of the match, Cook was tricked into anticipating more turn than Jadeja actually put on the ball. It took a thick outside edge and carried over to Kohli at slips.

It took a thick outside edge and carried over to Kohli at slips. It carried low and Kohli had to dive to take it and it turned out to be a good catch in the end.

Thus, he continued that trend and took Cook’s scalp for the fifth time in this series. Three of the five dismissals have been through LBWs. Jadeja has bowled quicker and fuller and thus limiting his sweeps to only five times in a five-match Test series.

But the fact remained that Cook is still unable to figure out how to play Ravindra Jadeja. Jadeja’s previous dismissal of Cook in Mumbai marked his 100th Test wicket.

England were since carried by a strong partnership between Joe Root and Moeen Ali. That was until Jadeja struck again, this time dismissing Root after he made 87 runs. Moeen Ali has since continued with Jonny Bairstow and the two have built a formidable partnership for the fourth wicket.
