Ravindra Jadeja took his 300th Test wicket on Day 4 of the second Test between India and Bangladesh at Green Park, Kanpur on Monday, September 30.

The Saurashtra all-rounder has already scored 3122 runs in his Test career. On Monday, he took the final Bangladesh wicket to fall in the first innings. Bangladeshi pacer Khaled Ahmed got a leading edge in his attempt to play across the line and ended up giving a simple return catch to Jadeja. This was his 300th Test wicket as the veteran entered an illustrious club of players who have scored a minimum of 3000 runs and also taken at least 300 wickets.
