Amazing work of Sir Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja has registered a new achievement by achieving the milestone of 300 wickets in Test cricket. Earlier, the highest wicket taker in Test cricket was left arm spinner Bishan Singh Bedi with 266 wickets. Now Jadeja has left this record behind and touched the figure of 300 wickets.
Jadeja has become the third left arm spinner in the world to have 300 Test wickets to his name. Sri Lanka’s Rangana Herath is at the first place in this list, who has taken 433 Test wickets, while New Zealand’s Daniel Vettori has taken 362 wickets.
That’s the milestone wicket for @imjadeja 👏👏

Jadeja’s figures are unmatched
The special thing about Jadeja is that this player has completed 300 Test wickets with a better bowling average than veteran spinner Anil Kumble. Jadeja’s bowling average is only 23.99 and Anil Kumble had completed 300 wickets at an average of 29.65. Talking about batting, Jadeja’s test average is better than KL Rahul. KL Rahul’s test batting average is 34.13 and Jadeja scores runs at an average of 36.73. It is clear that because of these figures, Jadeja is the world’s number 1 Test all-rounder.
