Ashwin-Jadeja's milestone is a touch away
September 24, 20242 Mins Read
Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja have been an integral part of Indian cricket for over an era. Both specialize in spin bowling. Also good at batting. Both have won many matches for India. The last example of which is the Chennai Test against Bangladesh. After 6 wickets for 144 runs, they snatched the match from Bangladesh.

Ashwin-Jadejar

However, both Jadeja and Ashwin have spent a large part of their careers as bowlers. Most of the duo's achievements are also in spinning magic. Since 2012, India's 18-series unbeaten run on the country's soil is not an exaggeration.

If there is no dramatic decision, the Ashwin-Jadeja duo will also be seen in the Kanpur Test against Bangladesh. In bowling, both of them are close to touching the milestone. And coincidentally both need 1 wicket each for different milestones.

For Jadeja, however, the task is easy. This all-rounder will enter the elite club of 300 wickets and 3000 runs as the 11th player in Test cricket with just 1 wicket in Kanpur. Jadeja has so far scored 3 thousand 122 runs in his 73 match career in Test cricket. And took 299 wickets with the ball. Jadeja averages 36.72 with the bat in this format. And his average with the ball is 23.98.

Ashwin also needs 1 wicket to reach the milestone. But there is a condition for that. If India bat first in Kanpur and Bangladesh bat in the fourth innings, Ashwin can reach the milestone only. And if he gets 1 wicket, he will have 100 wickets in the 4th innings in the Test.

Rangana Herath has 115 wickets, Muttiah Muralitharan has 106 wickets. And Glenn McGrath at 5A has 103 wickets.
