All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is on the cusp of a bowling milestone, which he will look to achieve during the first Test between India and West Indies that starts from Thursday at Antigua. The player is only eight wickets away from getting 200 Test wickets, and if he gets to the milestone, he will become only the tenth Indian bowler to get the feat. 

He will also become the second fastest Indian after Ravi Ashwin to reach the landmark. 

The Saurashtra player is currently fifth in the ICC Test bowler rankings. 

Team India walk into the Test series on a high, after clean-sweeping the hosts in the T20I and the ODI series. While India won the T20Is 3-0, the three-match ODI series was won 2-0, after the first game was washed away due to rain.

The series between India and Windes will be a part of the World Test Championships, which will see a final in June 2021 in England.
