[Saba Sports News] In celebration of Jonny Bairstow’s 100th Test match, enthusiastic England fans constructed a snowman in his honor in Dharamshala, where the match is scheduled. The accomplished wicketkeeper-batter is poised to reach this significant career milestone in the final Test against India at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium on March 7th.
Bairstow will join the elite list of 17 England cricketers who have played 100 Test matches. This match is also notable for India’s Ravichandran Ashwin, who will be marking his own 100th Test appearance.
The England fan group, the Barmy Army, shared a video of supporters skillfully creating a snowman symbolizing Bairstow, complete with the England Test jersey, celebrating his century of Test matches. The video displays their dedication to paying tribute to Bairstow, using their ingenuity to fashion a likeness of him from snow.
Bairstow’s participation in the final Test comes after a challenging series, where his performance has been closely watched. Despite the scrutiny and his recent run of modest scores, he remains a key figure for England, and this landmark match presents an opportunity for him to make a significant impact.
With India leading the series 3-1, both teams are eager to end the series on a strong note, with Bairstow looking to commemorate his 100th Test with a noteworthy performance.
