Ravindra Jadeja and 2 Indian Batters Create Record: first in 91 Years to reach in Unique fate

Ravindra Jadeja, India‘s dependable all-rounder, has made news in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025. He hit over 500 runs in the five-match Test series against England. He is first known for his strong throws and quick moves on the field, but now, Jadeja’s bat work has shocked both critics and fans.

This is the first time in Ravindra Jadeja’s Test career that he has got more than 500 runs in single series, his step up as a key batter for India.

On the third day’s last session of the fifth Test at The Oval, Ravindra Jadeja hit the 500-run mark. He just needed 37 runs in India’s second innings go to reach the big 500-run group, and he made it with a cool and fierce hit.

Gill, Rahul & Jadeja – The Trio of Titans

This series has seen unprecedented batting domination by India’s top-order:

For the first time in Indian Test history, three batters have scored 500+ runs in the same series, showing the dominance of the Indian batting unit during this landmark edition of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.

Historical Comparison: From Lala Amarnath to Today

India started playing Test cricket way back in 1932 against England, and they had their first full series in 1933-34. Lala Amarnath scored the most runs for India in that series, with 203 runs in 6 innings. It’s quite different from how batsmen play now.

Ravindra Jadeja’s recent performance is way better than those early scores and really shows he’s a great all-rounder in Test cricket today.

Rishabh Pant Misses Record With Injury

Rishabh Pant was also in a rich vein of form when, in just 7 innings, he scored 479 runs, but he unfortunately could not play in the 5th Test due to a foot injury he suffered in the Manchester Test. If Pant had played and scored just 47 runs he would have broken Budhi Kunderan’s record (525 runs) for most runs in a series by an Indian wicketkeeper.

Not only did Pant take a great score of 138 when scoring but he also contributed well to expose India to a firm position of advantage. Pant’s injury was a major setback to the 5th Test planning.

India’s batting in 2025 is kind of like how Australia crushed it in the 1989 Ashes tour. Back then, five Aussie players went wild, racking up over 400 runs each: Mark Taylor with 834, Dean Jones hitting 566, Steve Waugh getting 506, and Allan Border and David Boon both scoring 442.

Now, India’s doing something similar. Gill, Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, Pant, and Jaiswal (with 411 runs) are killing it, and it’s making this series one for the books.

Once seen as mainly a bowler, Ravindra Jadeja has now scored over 500 runs. This shows his full change into a great hitter for India. He can switch his game as needed, hit well when there’s pressure, and keeps doing good with the bat. This is a big part why India is doing so well in England.

This Test series will be remembered—not just for India’s likely win, but for personal big marks that changed roles and what people hope for.
