Ravindra Jadeja smashes two towering sixes off Jomel Warrican on Day 2 of IND vs WI 2025 1st Test [Watch]

India vice-captain Ravindra Jadeja showed a lot of intent with the bat after lunch on Day 2 of the first Test against the West Indies in Ahmedabad on Friday, October 3. The left-handed batter whacked Jomel Warrican for two monstrous sixes.

The attacking display from the bat came in the 72nd over of India’s first innings. Warrican bowled a half-volley, giving the ball plenty of air. Jadeja danced down the track and dispatched it to over long-on for a massive six to begin the over. The southpaw then repeated a similar shot as he lofted a tossed-up delivery over the same region at long-on.

Watch the two sixes below:

Ravindra Jadeja recently impressed with the bat as India drew a five-match Test series in England 2-2 earlier this year. The 36-year-old amassed 516 runs in 10 innings with the help of one ton and five half-centuries. He will now be looking to continue his batting exploits in the ongoing Tests against the West Indies. The left-arm spinner is equally handy with the ball, bagging 330 wickets (and counting) in 86 matches.
