Top 3 bowling performances of Jayant Yadav in Tests

In the last decade or so Ravichandran Ashwin has been the undisputed first-choice right-arm off-spinner for India but if any off-spinner has come close to making a name for himself in Indian cricket, it is Jayant Yadav. 

However, Jayant could not establish his place in the Indian team but he did deliver some impressive performances. In this article, we will take a look at his top 3 bowling performances in Test cricket.

In 2021, Jayant Yadav made a comeback to the Indian Test team after almost four years. In the second Test of the series against New Zealand at Wankhede, he registered the best performance of his Test career. 

The 34-year-old picked up 4 wickets in the second innings which played a major role in wrapping up the run chase of New Zealand. India eventually won the match by a massive margin of 372 runs. 

3/30 vs England, 2016

This bowling spell was delivered by Jayant Yadav in his debut match at Visakhapatnam against England. India posted 405 runs as the target in the second innings for England but the Indian spinners proved to be too much for the visitors. 

Jayant Yadav along with Ravichandran Ashwin spun a web around England which completely trapped the opposition. The off-spinner from Haryana was the joint-highest wicket-taker for India in the second innings with 3 wickets to his name. 

2/21 vs England, 2016

In the third Test of his debut series against England, Jayant picked up a couple of wickets in the second innings. In the first innings, India registered a huge lead which England was trying to overcome and post a challenging target for the home side. 

However, the English batters could not show enough resilience and fell to the Indian bowlers. The off-spinner dismissed two crucial batters, Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow, which was a huge blow for England.
