Ravindra Jadeja becomes only second spinner to reach unique milestone after 7 wickets against Australia

India's premier spinner Ravindra Jadeja was the main architect on Sunday (February 19) as Australia capitulated in the second innings of the second Test in Delhi.

The left-arm spinner picked up seven wickets and dismantled the Australian batters with his magical spell, thus achieving his career-best in Test cricket.

Ravindra Jadeja career-best in Test Cricket:

Ravindra Jadeja finished with fantastic figures of 12.1-1-42-7 in the innings. He has 17 wickets so far in the Test series and picked up 10 wickets in the 2nd Test in Delhi.

Ravindra Jadeja gets 5 wickets via Bowled:

Among the seven wickets that Jadeja picked, 5 wickets came via bowled. He started disturbing the timber with Marnus Labuschagne, and then picked up Pat Cummins, Alex Carey, Nathan Lyon and Matthew Kuhnemann - all departing as their stumps were castled.

Australia's last 4 wickets fell via bowled and with his accurate bowling, Jadeja has found himself with some elite names.

Jadeja has become the first bowler in two decades to pick up five wickets via bowled in a Test match. This is the first time a bowler has made five dismissals via bowled since 2002, as Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar was the last bowler to do so against New Zealand in Lahore.

Jadeja only 2nd spinner to the record:

Ravindra Jadeja also joined former India spinner Anil Kumble as the second spinner to get five wickets via bowled in a Test match. Kumble was the only spinner in the last 50 years of Test cricket to achieve the record, as he did it against South Africa in Johannesburg in 1992.

Kumble picked up six wickets in the second innings of that match. He broke the stumps of Andrew Hudson, David Richardson, Peter Kirsten, Jonty Rhodes and Hansie Cronje in that innings and finished with figures of 6/53.
