After defeating R Ashwin and Kapil Dev, Ravindra Jadeja became the fastest Indian player to reach three thousand runs and take 300 wickets in Test cricket.

On the fourth day of the second Test at Kanpur, India’s all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja made Test cricket history by dismissing Khaled Ahmed of Bangladesh. Jadeja became the first player in the nation and on the continent to achieve the feat of 3000 runs and 300 wickets in Test cricket with the wicket. With the milestone, he attained 300 scalps in the format. Along with Kapil Dev and Ravichandran Ashwin, Jadeja is the only other Indian to accomplish this uncommon feat. In contrast to the other two, though, the southpaw accomplished the milestone in less games.

Ian Botham, the legendary cricketer from England, is ranked number one on the global charts, with Jadeja in second place. While it had taken Botham 72 matches to attain the milestone, Jadeja did so in his 73rd Test match.

The seventh Indian bowler reach 300 Test wickets is Jadeja. It took him 17428 balls to get to the mark, which was second fastest. Having scored 15636 runs in 15636 balls, Ravichandran Ashwin leads the Indian statistics.
Those bowlers who have taken 300 or more wickets in Test matches are Anil Kumble (619), R Ashwin (524), Kapil Dev (434), Harbhajan Singh (417), Ishant Sharma (311), and Zaheer Khan (311). Anil Kumble leads the table in this regard.

Mominul Haque, a batter from Bangladesh, became the second player in history to achieve a century in a Test match played in India during the encounter. Bangladesh reached 233/10 in the first innings thanks to Mominul’s undefeated performance of 107 not off 194 balls.
In a masterclass of restrained aggressiveness, the 35-year-old left-hander amassed 16 fours and a six while displaying extraordinary patience and poise. With a sweeping performance against Ravichandran Ashwin, he achieved his 13th Test century, making him, along with Mushfiqur Rahim, the only other Bangladeshi to score a century in India.
