Scorecard - #INDvSL /yBnZ2mTeku- BCCI March 5, 2022 Here comes the declaration and that will also be Tea on Day 2 of the 1st Test.

This dip in the scoring rate forced India's new Test skipper Rohit Sharma to declare the innings, leaving Jadeja 25 runs short of his maiden double ton.

Jadeja had the chance to register his maiden double century but he slowed down towards the later stage of his innings as Sri Lanka bowlers started to bowl defensive lines and stationed fielders on the boundary, not allowing him any easy runs.

#INDvSL /oLcyTMZSYt- Wisden India March 5, 2022 Only three batters from the country have a score of 150 or more in Tests batting at 7 or below in Tests: Jadeja, Kapil and Rishabh Pant. Ravindra Jadeja crosses Kapil Dev, who had made 163 against Sri Lanka in Kanpur in 1986 while batting at No.7. The previous record was held by former India captain Kapil Dev who had made 163 against the same opponent.
It was also the highest score by an Indian batter batting at number seven in a Test match. The southpaw smashed three sixes and 17 fours en route to his highest Test score. Jadeja was involved in three partnerships of over 100 runs with Rishabh Pant, Ravichandran Ashwin and Mohammed Shami. Ravindra Jadeja, the batter, came to the party for India as he scored an unbeaten 175 against Sri Lanka in the first Test in Mohali on Saturday.
