On Monday, September 30, at Green Park, Kanpur, during Day 4 of the second Test between India and Bangladesh, Ravindra Jadeja secured his 300th Test wicket.
In his Test career, the all-around player from Saurashtra has already amassed 3122 runs. He claimed the last wicket for Bangladesh in the opening innings on Monday.
Khaled Ahmed, a pacer from Bangladesh, had an advantage when attempting to play across the line and ultimately gave Ravindra Jadeja an easy return catch.
With this wicket, the seasoned player achieved his 300th Test wicket and joined an elite group of players who have both taken and scored at least 300 wickets in addition to 3000 runs.
