Ravindra Jadeja becomes the country’s most successful left-arm spinner in Tests.

Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja on Friday created history, as he surpassed compatriot Bishan Singh Bedi to become the country's most successful left-arm spinner in the history of Test cricket. Jadeja accomplished this during India's ICC World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval.

  • In Australia's second innings, Jadeja put to an end innings of two centurions from the first innings, Steve Smith (34) and Travis Head (18). 
  • Jadeja ended the day with figures of 2/25 in nine overs. Now in 65 Test matches, Jadeja has taken 267 wickets at an average of 24.25 and an economy rate of 2.44. Bishan Singh Bedi has 266 wickets in 67 matches.
  • Overall, Jadeja is the fourth most-successful left arm-spinner in Tests. He is behind Sri Lanka's Rangana Herath (433 in 93 matches), Daniel Vettori (362 in 113 matches) and England's Derek Underwood (297 wickets in 86 matches).
