During the opening day of action in the second Test between India and Australia at the Arjun Jailtley Stadium in Delhi, India's Most Valuable Player (MVP) continued to demonstrate his brilliance. Three crucial wickets taken by Jadeja helped India gain the upper hand in the match.
Usman Khawaja, who was batting at 81 and appeared poised to lead Australia to a sizable score, was one of the notable dismissals in this. Jadeja was dismissed, becoming him the first player to take 250 wickets. Jadeja became the first Indian and the second-fastest player in the world to attain the historic milestone of amassing 2500 runs in Test cricket and claiming 250 wickets as a result.
After Ian Botham, who needed 55 games to reach the milestone, Jadeja reached it in 62 Test matches, which is the second-fastest time in Test cricket history. Jadeja joins Kapil Dev, Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh, and Ravichandran Ashwin as the fifth Indians to accomplish the uncommon feat. In order to attain the milestone, Jadeja outperformed Kapil Dev (65) and former Pakistan captain Imran Khan (64).
Jadeja had taken five wickets in the first innings and scored a crucial 70, earning him Player of the Match (POTM) honours in the first game. During the second innings, he added three more wickets.
In Delhi for the second Test, Jadeja added to his recent success with the ball by taking a three-wicket haul. In addition to Khawaja, he also got rid of Pat Cummins and Todd Murphy in the same over, giving India the victory.
Australia scored 263 runs after choosing to bat first and winning the toss. Jadeja and Ashwin each got three wickets, while Mohammad Shami claimed four.
