The veteran Indian all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja went on to amassed his 13th half-century in the longest format during the ongoing third and final Test against South Africa at the JSCA Stadium in Ranchi on Sunday. After reaching the landmark, he came up with his trademark sword celebration.
The Indian skipper, Virat Kohli from the dressing room joined in the celebrations and added a new twist to Jadejs’s sword-wielding with a horse-riding gesture. Jadeja was soon then dismissed for 51 on the next ball after he achieved the feat as he edged one through to the wicketkeeper off George Linde.
Here are the videos of the celebration:

South Africa got off to a nightmare start as they lost both their openers cheaply. Mohammed Shami removed Dean Elgar for a duck while Umesh Yadav accounted for Quinton de Kock (4). South Africa was nine for two before bad light forced the officials to take the players off the field. Currently, in the game, the Proteas are reeling at 136/8 after lunch on Day 3 as the Indian debutant Shahbaz Nadeem got his maiden first wicket in form of Temba Bavuma.
