WATCH: Ravindra Jadeja celebrates his century with Allu Arjun's 'Pushpa' move, fans say 'jhukega nahi...'
New Delhi: Veteran India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja completed his fifth Test century in style, hitting a six over long-on off England's Harry Brook and celebrating in a unique manner. The left-handed all-rounder achieved the feat on Day 5 (Sunday, July 27) of the fourth Test versus England at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester.
On the third ball of the 141st over of India's second innings, Brook delivered one up outside off. Jadeja danced down the track and struck it over long-on for a six to bring his hundred, which was scored on 182 balls. What was Shubman Gill urging Ravindra Jadeja?
The 36-year-old avoided his signature sword dance this time and chose a Pushpa-like move instead as he tapped his bat on his forehead and then swept his bat sideways with swagger. Skipper Shubman Gill was playfully urging him on from the dressing room to attempt the traditional sword swirl. Where to watch the video?

IND vs ENG 5th Test: Ravi Shastri compares Harrry Brook to Rishabh Pant after fiery knock at The Oval
Harry Brook plays a shot during day four of the Fifth Test vs India at The Oval (Photo by) Harry Brook's fearless approach on Day 4 of the fifth Test at The Oval had shades of Rishabh Pant, and it didn't go unnoticed. Former India head coach and commentator Ravi Shastri drew a direct comparison between the two, highlighting how the England batter shifted the momentum of the game with his aggressive batting. Speaking on Sky Sports Cricket during the lunch break, Shastri said, 'The first hour was watchful — really good bowling, plenty of chat out there in the face of the batsmen, the fielders as well as the bowlers — and India picked up a couple of wickets. Then came the counter-attack in the next one hour. So a seesaw battle — suddenly there was a shift in the balance." Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "England started putting pressure on India, the fielders started disappearing into the outfield, catches were taken, going over the boundary line — everything started happening, which often happens when someone comes out there and bats like a Rishabh Pant. Harry Brook was doing a Rishabh Pant for England today, and you could see the momentum shift almost immediately,' exclaimed Shastri, who gave praise where it was due. India need EIGHT wickets, England 324 runs: Who will come out on top at The Oval? Brook came in after the dismissal of England captain Ollie Pope and wasted no time. His aggressive strokeplay, especially his handling of pace, unsettled India's bowling plans and brought England back into the contest.

Why Ravindra Jadeja forced a spectator to change t-shirt at Oval midway into 5th Test? Here's what had exactly happened
If Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant held India's fort at the top-order throughout the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, Ravindra Jadeja did the job consistently, batting at No.6. If his hundred in Manchester in the fourth Test was a testament of grit and determination, Jadeja's 53 off 77 balls at the Oval on Saturday took his team in a commanding position. But what caught the attention of everyone when the southpaw forced a spectator change his t-shirt in the stands. The incident took place during an over bowled by Gus Atkinson. Jadeja was getting distracted by the elderly spectator's red t-shirt. The 36-year-old even asked the on-field umpire to change the spectator's seat as the red colour was distracting him right behind the bowler's arm. But the spectator was adamant in not changing his position in the stands when a stadium official came up with an idea. Instead of changing the seat of the spectator, he was given a light-coloured t-shirt to wear which wouldn't distract Jadeja. The Indian all-rounder acknowledged the thinking and even gave a thumbs-up to the spectator seated. Jadeja's innings eventually gave India mileage, thus extending the lead past 350.

Ravindra Jadeja Breaks VVS Laxman's Record, Surpasses Sunil Gavaskar For Massive Feat
Ravindra Jadeja shattered a handful of milestones after surpassing former batting mainstay VVS Laxman for most runs by an Indian batting at number six or lower in a Test series on the third day of the fifth fixture against England at Kennington Oval on Saturday. Jadeja continued to be the biggest thorn for England bowlers and breezed past the 500-run mark in the series, marking the first instance of three Indian players crossing that landmark in a bilateral Test series. The 36-year-old breezed past Laxman's tally of 474, which he garnered during India's tour of the West Indies in 2002. He continued to wreak havoc and blazed past a hard-fought half-century. He added another feather to his cap by dethroning the legendary Sunil Gavaskar for the milestone of most 50-plus scores for India in a series in England. He bettered "Little Master's" tally of five with his six 50-plus scores for India during a series in England. Overall, Jadeja tied with West Indies' Gerry Alexander and Pakistan's Wasim Raja, who all boast six fifty-plus scores each in an away Test series while batting at number six or lower. Overall, India now has three players who boast a tally of more than 500 runs in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. India captain Shubman Gill concluded his run in England with a staggering 754 runs at an average of 7540. Stylish opener KL Rahul follows next with 532 runs at 53.20, and Jadeja in third with 516 runs. His exploits came to a bitter end at the hands of Josh Tongue. The seasoned southpaw tried to slash it, but gave away a thick outside edge in the process, which flew straight into the hands of Harry Brook, stationed at the second slip. Jadeja expressed his frustration by nearly punching the stumps and returned with a score of 53(77). After his composed exploits concluded, Washington Sundar brought the T20 touch to red-ball cricket and delivered a swashbuckling 53 from 46 deliveries to set a 374-run target for England to chase down.
