Ravindra Jadeja Close to Joining Elite Test Club

Ravindra Jadeja is on the brink of joining an exclusive group in Indian Test cricket. With just six wickets needed in the upcoming two-Test series against Bangladesh, Jadeja will reach 300 Test wickets. This milestone will place him alongside Kapil Dev and Ravichandran Ashwin as the only Indian cricketers to have scored 3000 runs and taken 300 wickets in Tests.

Currently, Jadeja has 294 wickets from 72 Tests and has scored 3036 runs. Kapil Dev and Ashwin are the only other Indians to achieve the 3000 runs and 300 wickets double, with Kapil finishing his career with 5248 runs and 434 wickets, and Ashwin with 3309 runs and 516 wickets.

Jadeja's achievement would add him to a distinguished list of Indian bowlers, including Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, and Ishant Sharma, who have reached the 300-wicket mark.

Kuldeep Yadav is also expected to play in the first Test, offering him a chance to make a mark as well.
