News India Live, Digital Desk: Whenever Team India is in trouble, there is only one name on everyone’s lips – ‘Sir’ Ravindra Jadeja. Be it scoring runs with the bat or making the opponents dance with his spin, this player never disappoints. And now, in the ongoing series against South Africa, Jadeja has achieved a milestone which will be written in golden letters in the history of Indian cricket.
During the ongoing second Test match at Centurion, Ravindra Jadeja made his debut in Test cricket. 350 wickets Have completed. Those who do this are from India only 5th bowler Have become.
Let us understand in simple language how big this record is and which giants Jadeja has equaled.
5th Indian to take 350 wickets
Taking 350 wickets in Test cricket is not child’s play. It takes years of hard work and fitness. Before Ravindra Jadeja, only four great bowlers of India have done this feat:
- Anil Kumble – 619 wickets
- Ravichandran Ashwin (R. Ashwin) – 500+ wickets
- Kapil Dev – 434 wickets
- Harbhajan Singh – 417 wickets
And now it has come at number 5- Ravindra Jadeja,
Jadeja had left behind legendary fast bowlers like Zaheer Khan (311) and Ishant Sharma (311) long ago in this journey.
Danka played in South Africa
This achievement is also special because it has been achieved on South African soil, where the pitches generally do not help spinners.
On the fourth day of the match, when South Africa were scoring runs at a rapid pace, Jadeja reached the historic figure by trapping batsmen like Aiden Markram and Ryan Rickelton with his precise line-length.
Meaning of being an all-rounder (The Double Trouble)
Jadeja is not just a bowler. Let us remind you that recently he 4000 runs were also completed.
There are very few cricketers in the world whose names 4000 runs and 350 wickets ‘Double’ is recorded. In India, only Kapil Dev and Ashwin have done this feat before him. That means ‘Jaddu’ has now truly cemented his place in the list of great all-rounders.
Good news for Team India
Jadeja being in form is like a lifesaver for the Indian team. While on one hand the pacers were getting help, on the other hand Jadeja showed the magic of his spin and proved that the lion has not become old, but has become more dangerous.
Many congratulations to Ravindra Jadeja for this wonderful record! It is expected that he will soon touch the mark of 400 wickets.
