The second Test between India and West Indies in Delhi could witness a historic moment in Test cricket, all thanks to Ravindra Jadeja. If he scores just 10 runs in this match, Jadeja will achieve a rare milestone that hasn’t been seen in nearly 5,000 days.
By reaching this mark, Jadeja will become only the fourth Indian and the second Indian all-rounder in cricket history to take 300 wickets and score 4,000 runs in Test cricket.
Jadeja will join an elite global list that includes Ian Botham, Kapil Dev, and Daniel Vettori. Vettori was the most recent cricketer to achieve this feat, accomplishing it in a Test match against Zimbabwe on January 16, 2012.
Currently, Jadeja has amassed 3,990 runs and 334 wickets in Tests. Scoring 10 more runs in the Delhi Test will allow him to officially enter this prestigious club of all-rounders who have excelled with both bat and ball in the longest format of the game.
Fans and cricket enthusiasts are eagerly watching this Test, as Jadeja’s achievement would mark a historic moment for Indian cricket and Test cricket history overall.
