IND vs ENG: Ravindra Jadeja left James Anderson behind by dismissing Joe Root, his name also got added to the list of Kapil Dev and Anil Kumble

In the first ODI match played between India and England in Nagpur, India's Ravindra Jadeja bowled brilliantly and took three wickets. In this match, Jadeja took a total of three wickets and with this, he was successful in making some records as well as getting his name written in the list of legendary bowlers.

 The Indian team defeated England in the first ODI match played in Nagpur on Thursday. With this victory, India took a 1-0 lead in the series. Along with this, Team India's star Ravindra Jadeja also got his name inscribed in a special club. This club has the names of legends like Kapil Dev and Anil Kumble.

England batted first in this match and were all out for 248 runs. England lost all 10 wickets in 47.4 overs, out of which three were taken by Jadeja alone. India achieved this target in 38.4 overs and won the match.

Joe Root became the victim

England's batting was not going well. In such a situation, it had expectations from its most experienced batsman and former captain Joe Root, who is an expert in staying on the wicket. Root seemed to be doing that, but Jadeja came in front of him. The competition between Jadeja and Root has been special. Root has fallen prey to Indian spinners many times and the same happened in Nagpur. Jadeja trapped Root in his spin web for the 12th time.

Jadeja's ball hit Root's pads and India made a strong appeal. The umpire did not delay in giving the decision out. Root had the option of review to save himself, which he also used. However, he was unsuccessful and this right-handed veteran batsman had to return to the pavilion on the 31st ball. He scored 19 runs with the help of a four.

Entry in a special club

With this, Jadeja entered a special club. Root became his 600th victim in international cricket. Only a few bowlers have been able to reach this figure in international cricket for India. This list includes former Indian captain Kumble, world champion captain Kapil Dev, former off-spinner Harbhajan Singh and Ravichandran Ashwin, who was Jadeja's longtime partner in Tests.

Jadeja bowled a total of nine overs in this match in which he took three wickets for 26 runs. After Root, this left-arm spinner also trapped Jaiswal and Adil Rashid in his net. Bethel was LBW after scoring 51 runs with the help of three fours and a six in 64 balls. Rashid was bowled by Jadeja. He managed to score eight runs in 18 balls.

Anderson was left behind

With this, Jadeja also left England's James Anderson behind. Jadeja has now become the highest wicket-taker in ODIs between India and England. Anderson has 40 wickets to his name. Jadeja has now overtaken him.

Jadeja now has 323 wickets in 80 Test matches, 223 in 198 ODIs and 54 wickets in 74 T20 matches. He retired from this format after the T20 World Cup-2024 last year. Now he only plays Tests and ODIs. Dailymintz
