IND vs BAN: Ravindra Jadeja eyes Sachin Tendulkar's record in Kanpur Test versus Bangladesh

Ravindra Jadeja has established himself as one of India's finest bowling all-rounders over the decade without the shadow of a doubt. His journey from being a talented left-arm spinner to a bowling all-rounder has been nothing short of remarkable.

Recently, he chipped in with a brilliant 86 against Bangladesh in the Chepauk Test. During this innings, the veteran constructed his innings with the help of 10 fours and 2 sixes, stitching a crucial 199-run liaison, which changed the course of the game.

As Jadeja gears up for the second Test against Bangladesh in Kanpur on September 27, multiple milestones are within his reach. Let's take a glimpse at some of the milestones the all-rounder can achieve in the upcoming Test.

Milestones Ravindra Jadeja Can Reach in IND vs BAN 2024 Kanpur Test

1. Closing in on Run Tallies against Bangladesh: Ravindra Jadeja has scored 234 runs against Bangladesh in Tests, and with just one solid knock in the Kanpur Test, he could surpass some notable Indian batters.

If he scores fifty-plus runs, Jadeja can pass Murali Vijay (295 runs), Dinesh Karthik (270 runs) Mayank Agarwal (257 runs) Test run tally against Bangladesh. Given Jadeja's current form, it won't be surprising if he surpasses these players in the upcoming match.

2. Chasing Sachin Tendulkar's Test Sixes Record: While the legendary Sachin Tendulkar is best-known for his countless records in the game of cricket, Ravindra Jadeja is on the verge of going past the Master Blaster in Test sixes category.

For the record, Tendulkar hit 67 sixes in his entire Test career whereas Jadeja has struck 66 sixes and needs just 3 more sixes to go past him. He can achieve that feat if he gets runs on the board in Kanpur.

3. Could go past Ganguly's Test Fifties tally vs Bangladesh: The Navagam-born all-rounder has scored 3 Test fifties against Bangladesh, which puts him on par with the former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly.

If Jadeja scores one more fifty in the Kanpur Test, he will surpass Ganguly. Only Cheteshwar Pujara (5) and Ajinkya Rahane (4) have hit more fifties against this opposition.
