The third India vs England Test has seen its moments with two more days of play remaining. The first day of the contest saw tons from Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja.

However, one person who was talked bout the most was debutant Sarfaraz Khan. After much wait and solid performances in domestic cricket, the Mumbai batter made his India debut.

He even scored a 48-ball half-century - the joint-fastest by an Indian Test debutant in the post-independence era. Sarfaraz Khan looked poised for a big score but a mix-up with Ravindra Jadeja saw him get run out on 62. "At times there is miscommunication, and it is a part of the game.

Sometimes you get run out. Such kind of things happen," Sarfaraz Khan said after the day's play. On what Jadeja said on the run-out, Sarfaraz said: "He said there was a bit of miscommunication, but I said it's okay." A few overs after Sarfaraz Khan's dismissal, Ravindra Jadeja went on to complete his fourth Test century and celebrated quite typically in his fashion by swinging the bat like a sword.

Former England captain Alastair Cook criticised the batting of India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja after the player failed to play a noticeable knock in the Ranchi Test. Jadeja, who batted at number 5 ahead of Sarfaraz Khan and Dhruv Jurel in both innings against England, failed to help the team's cause by returning scores of run-a-ball 12 and 4 off 33. Cook opined that the India star finds it hard to maintain a balance between attack and defence whenever he bats at the number 5 spot.
