(AP Photo) <\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\">Ravindra Jadeja has developed to be one of India\u2019s most reliable players in Tests. The soon-to-be-concluded Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, in likely his last tour of England, has been the prime example of what he can give India at his best in some of the most difficult circumstances, regularly standing as a leader in a team of youth.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">In ten innings across the five Tests in the series, Jadeja smashed 516 runs at an average of 86. It was his personal best in a Test series and included five half-centuries and a ton, capped with a 77-ball 53 in the last innings at the Oval that helped India score 396\/10 and set a challenging target of 374 for England.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">With it, he made it ten 50-plus scores in Tests in England while batting at No. 6 or lower (five each at 6 and 7). It\u2019s the highest by a visiting player, surpassing nine by the legendary West Indies former captain, Garfield Sobers. The latter took only 16 matches for five half-centuries and four hundreds, but Jadeja\u2019s record in 27 innings couldn\u2019t be understated either, considering only five other visiting players have more than five 50-plus scores here.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Jadeja gets most 50-plus scores at No.6 or lower in an away Test series<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">This was his sixth 50-plus score in the series, which is also the joint most at number six or lower in any away series for a cricketer.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li><strong>6 \u2013<\/strong> Gerry Alexander (West Indies) vs Australia, 1960\/61<\/li>\n<li><strong>6 \u2013<\/strong> Wasim Raja (Pakistan) vs West Indies, 1976\/77<\/li>\n<li><strong>6 \u2013<\/strong> Ravindra Jadeja (India) vs England, 2025<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">His total runs, 516, were also the third highest at number six or lower in any away series.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li><strong>722 \u2013<\/strong> Garfield Sobers (West Indies) vs England, 1966<\/li>\n<li><strong>517 \u2013<\/strong> Wasim Raja (Pakistan) vs West Indies, 1976\/77<\/li>\n<li><strong>516 \u2013<\/strong> Ravindra Jadeja (India) vs England, 2025*<\/li>\n<li><strong>506 \u2013<\/strong> Steve Waugh (Australia) vs England, 1989<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">In a series where India have looked for batting depth as much as economical bowling from its all-rounders, Jadeja has put his hand up the highest. He also took seven wickets in the five Tests with an economy rate of 3.51. He\u2019d hope to help India bowl England out in time on Sunday and Monday to level the series and make it an even more memorable one, personally and collectively.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"jsx-e71bd712c195739a jsx-1612736297 coral-count-custom\">view comments<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-e71bd712c195739a jsx-1612736297 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/cricket\/\">cricket<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Ravindra Jadeja Breaks Garry Sobers&#8217; Record Of Most 50+ Scores As&#8230;<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc \">\n<div class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
