Senior India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja feels scoring a hundred in tough English conditions will not only enhance his reputation as a batter, but will also serve as a big confidence booster going forward in his career.

Jadeja hit 104 off 194 deliveries and together with Rishabh Pant (146 off 111 balls) shared 222 runs for the sixth wicket to rescue India from 98-5 in their first innings in the rescheduled fifth and final Test against England here. “For me, I take this hundred as a confidence booster to score a hundred in England in swinging conditions,” Jadeja said after the second day’s play at Edgbaston after scoring his first overseas century.
