NEW DELHI: Ravindra Jadeja took five wickets in New Zealand's second innings on Sunday to complete a remarkable 10-wicket haul (10/120) in the third and final Test of the series in Mumbai. Wankhede Stadium.
Having also taken five wickets in New Zealand's first innings, Jadeja's performance in this match marked his second-best performance in Test cricket, just behind his 10/110 against Australia in Delhi in 2023.
This is the first time in his career that Jadeja has taken a five-wicket haul in both innings.
His five in the first innings gave India an early lead and his performance in the second innings put relentless pressure on the New Zealand line-up.
Jadeja's two fives 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 the elite list of Indian bowlers with multiple 10-wicket hauls in Test cricket.
Here is the list of Indian bowlers with the most 10-wicket hauls in Tests:
Anil Kumble – 8
R Ashwin – 8*
Harbhajan Singh – 5
Ravindra Jadeja – 3*
Kapil Dev-2
Irfan Pathan – 2
