India vs West Indies: Ravindra Jadeja six wickets away from overtaking Harbhajan Singh in Test list
Jadeja will become the second fastest Indian to reach the mark and only the10th Indian cricketer to achieve this illustrious feat.
The stage is set for Team India to clash with host West Indies in the second test to be played in at Kingston Cricket Ground Jamaica on Friday. The visitors currently lead the series 1-0 after their 318-run win in the first Test in Antigua. India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja put up a splendid show with both bat and ball in the first match and is likely to retain his place in the side.
If he does manage to start the game, he will be adding a fresh feather into his cap at this iconic stadium. Jadeja needs just six wickets to complete 200 wickets in the longest format and if manages to do so in the upcoming Test, he will become the second fastest Indian to reach the mark. Jadeja will also become only the 10th Indian cricketer to achieve this illustrious feat.
Ravichandran Ashwin remains the fastest Indian to complete 200 wickets and if Jadeja (42 Tests) takes six scalps in the next match, he will take the second spot and one ahead of out-of-favour spinner Harbhajan Singh. There was a massive uproar over Jadeja’s inclusion in the side ahead of Ashwin, but he repaid the captain and team management’s faith with a fine performance on the second day of the Test.
