Ravindra Jadeja takes his 350th Test wicket during India’s first Test against Sri Lanka in Galle, adding to his total of 348 wickets at the start of the match. Reports say the landmark comes on Day 3 of the Test as he dismisses Sri Lanka’s Keshara Nuwantha in the third session. Several outlets describe this as a major milestone for Indian bowling and for Jadeja’s overall Test career.
Outlets also align on the company he keeps for combining batting and bowling achievements in Tests. Multiple reports say Jadeja becomes the fourth player in history to reach 4,000-plus Test runs and 350-plus wickets, joining names such as Kapil Dev, Ian Botham and Daniel Vettori. Other coverage emphasizes that he is among Indians only to achieve 350 wickets, with Kapil Dev’s list of Indian bowlers referenced in some accounts. One report adds context on his progression, noting he reaches the 4,000-runs-and-350-wickets milestone in under 100 Test matches.
Separately, some outlets also mention Jadeja’s earlier achievement of playing his 50th World Test Championship match in Colombo, including reference to a lineup change and Saransh Jain receiving a debut cap, though this is distinct from the 350-wicket feat.
