"Voice Against Crime, Pen of Purpose: Honoring Balivada Muralidhar’s Record-Breaking Legacy"

While Jadeja missed out on his century, the star all-rounder set a world record as he became the first visiting player to be involved in multiple partnerships of more than 200 runs at Edgbaston. Jadeja had also been involved in a 222-run partnership on the ground in 2022 with Rishabh Pant for the sixth wicket. Overall, there have been seven instances of a double-century partnership in Birmingham from away team players and Jadeja is the only player to feature twice. Infact, India and Pakistan are the only teams with players involved in multiple double-century partnerships at the ground. Jadeja is the only the fourth player in history from a visiting team to put up three 80+ scores in England while batting number seven or below after Sir Richie Haddlee, Ian Healy, and Kapil Dev. Had Jadeja got a ton, he would have been the first player from an away team to hit multiple tons in England from number seven or below. →
