Jadeja equals Kapil Dev feat of 500 wickets, 5000 runs |
Star Indian cricket all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja created history on March 1 as he became the second Indian after World Cup-winning legendary captain Kapil Dev to complete a double of 500 wickets and also scored 5000 runs for India. 34-year-old Jadeja achieved this feat during the first day of the 3rd Test match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy at Holkar stadium in Indore. Jadeja, who is currently playing his 63rd Test for India, dismissed Australian opening batter Travis Head on the fourth ball of his first over to complete 500 wickets in international cricket and by doing so, he completed the double of 5000 runs and 500 wickets. Jadeja has been on fire for Team India in the 2023 Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. The star player has made an excellent comeback after recovering from a knee injury that had kept him out of action since August 2022. The left-handed batting all-rounder has played in a total of 63 Tests, 171 ODIs, and 64 T20Is for India in which he has so far scored 2623, 2447, and 457 runs respectively.
