Ravindra Jadeja creates history, becomes first Indian with rare double in England during Manchester Test

Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has etched his name into the history books during the fourth Test against England at Old Trafford. Jadeja has been in fine form in the series with four fifties in the first three Tests. He played another fine hand in the second innings of the fourth Test, having registered a historic record.

Jadeja completed 1000 Test runs in England as he became the first Indian player with 1000 runs and over 30 wickets in an away country.



The veteran all-rounder has become only the third player to have achieved this rare double in an away country, joining the likes of Wilfred Rhodes and Garry Sobers. 

Along with 1000-plus runs, Jadeja has also taken 34 wickets in England. Notably, former England all-rounder Rhodes had hit 1032 runs in Australia and had taken 42 wickets in the country. Meanwhile, former West Indies legend Sobers had scored 1820 runs in England and had taken 62 wickets there.
