Ravindra Jadeja completed 300 Test wickets on Day 4 of the 2nd Test against Bangladesh, as the all-rounder dismissed Khaled Ahmed to end Banglsdesh’s first innings at 233 at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur.
Jadeja is now only the third Indian player to achieve both 300 wickets and 3000 runs in Test cricket. Having picked 5 wickets during the 1st Test against the Bangla Tigers last week. Jadeja was just one scalp away from the milestone, and with his current form, it seemed a matter of when, not if, in Kanpur.

He and Ravichandran Ashwin took 11 wickets in the 1st Test to bamboozle the Bangladesh batting order and help India get a comprehensive 280-run win at the M.A Chidambaram Stadium which also happens to be Jadeja’s home ground in the IPL.
The all-rounder’s contribution in Test cricket has been phenomenal over the years for the Indian cricket team.
