Ravindra Jadeja scores 16th first-class century for Saurashtra
Ravindra Jadeja scored 102 for Saurashtra against Chhattisgarh in the Ranji Trophy in Rajkot.
It was his 16th first-class century for the team.
He was dismissed by Dharmendrasinh Jadeja on the second day of the match.
Jadeja is an all-rounder who bowls left-arm spin and recently joined Saurashtra after India’s one-day series against West Indies.
He had not batted in his two matches during that series, so the Ranji match gives him time at the crease in the longer format.
That practice matters ahead of India’s two-Test tour of New Zealand next month.
The first Test is scheduled for Wellington from November 19 to 23, followed by a second in Christchurch from November 27 to December 1.
