Kanpur. Team India’s star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja created history by taking his 300th wicket in the second Test match against Bangladesh. After two days of play was washed out due to rain, the fourth day started with new energy and India took full advantage of this opportunity. Jadeja dismissed Khalid Ahmed and bundled out Bangladesh’s first innings for 233 runs. During this innings, Jadeja completed 300 wickets in Test cricket and also achieved a special milestone. During this time, Jadeja joined the list of select Indian players who scored 3000 runs along with 300 wickets. Before him, only Kapil Dev and R Ashwin had achieved this feat for India. Apart from this, in terms of balls, he is the second fastest Indian to complete 300 Test wickets after R Ashwin (15636) (17428). With this, he became the fastest Asian to complete this double record and the second fastest player in the world after England’s great Ian Botham.
The day had started brilliantly for India. Jasprit Bumrah put pressure on Bangladesh by dismissing Mushfiqur Rahim early. However, Bangladesh’s Mominul Haq put the team in trouble by scoring a brilliant century. The visiting team tried to make a comeback in the match, but the Indian fielders boosted the morale of the team. Rohit Sharma took a brilliant catch waving in the air and sent Liton Das to the pavilion. After this, Mohammad Siraj made another brilliant effort and caught Shakib Al Hasan. Mominul’s efforts were not enough for his team to dominate the match. Bumrah’s accurate balls dismissed Mehndi Hasan and Taijul Islam, while Siraj took the wicket of Hasan Mahmood. After this, Jadeja ended Bangladesh’s first innings by wrapping up the innings.
