NEW DELHI: Ravindra Jadeja claimed five wickets in New Zealand’s second innings on Sunday, completing a remarkable 10-wicket haul (10/120) in the third and final Test of the series in Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium.
Having also taken five wickets in New Zealand’s first innings, Jadeja’s performance in this match marked his second-best figures in Test cricket, just behind his 10/110 against Australia in Delhi in 2023.
It is the first time in his career that Jadeja has taken five wickets in both innings.
His first-innings five-for gave India an early advantage and his second-innings performance maintained relentless pressure on the New Zealand lineup.
Jadeja’s two five-fers in a single Test make him only the second Indian to achieve this feat against New Zealand after R Ashwin who achieved this remarkable feat twice – against Australia in Chennai (2013) and South Africa in Nagpur (2015) ).
With this achievement, Jadeja now joins an elite list of Indian bowlers with multiple 10-wicket hauls in Test cricket.
Here is the list of Indian bowlers with most 10-wicket hauls in Tests:
Anil Kumble – 8
R. Ashwin – 8*
Harbhajan Singh – 5
Ravindra Jadeja – 3*
Kapil Dev – 2
Irfan Pathan – 2
