CRICKET
The India men also saw three 100+ partnerships in an innings after the fall of the 5th wicket.
Just 25 runs short of a double century, but Ravindra Jadeja's 175 surely is something that will be remembered for a long time as India declared at 574 runs against Sri Lanka on Day 2 of the first Test at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali.
Coming to bat at Nop 7, 'Sir' Jadeja went past Kapil Dev to bag the record of the highest score by an Indian at that spot. The batter made his innings look effortless and he cruised past his century and even reached the 150 run mark in style. After the declaration, the entire Sri Lankan team came over to congratulate him.
Here comes the declaration and that will also be Tea on Day 2 of the 1st Test.

Earlier, on Day 1, India had posted a total of 357/6, thanks to the fifties from Rishabh Pant and Hanuma Vihari. Pant was earlier the top-scorer scoring 96 in 97 balls but missed his century by just four runs.
