Top 3 spells by Ravindra Jadeja in Tests played outside of Asia: Top 3 spells by Ravindra Jadeja in Tests played outside of Asia: India’s hopes of ending their 10-year trophy drought were dashed as Australia soundly defeated them in the World Tennis Championship Final.
One of the few positives from the game that India was able to take away was Ravindra Jadeja’s performance. After his heroics in the IPL championship game as well. He picked up three wickets in the second innings after taking 48 runs in the first at a time when India desperately needed them.
His performance in the match was just another illustration of his improving reputation as a cricketer, both domestically and internationally. Here are three of his top bowling efforts in Test matches played outside of Asia to close up this sentence.
1 6-138 (Durban, 2013)
In 2013, a 25-year-old Jadeja hit a six-for against South Africa while taking part in his debut Test outside of India. As a result of this performance in the first Test innings, Graeme Smith, AB de Villers, Alviro Petersen, Jacques Kallis, and JP Duminy all lost their wickets.
All of these players were established at the time, which increases the worth of Jadeja’s returns. Later, he went back to get another wicket—Morne Morkel’s. In the end, South Africa won this match. However, this game encouraged people to have faith in Jadeja’s capabilities under adverse circumstances.
2 4-62 (Sydney, 2021)
Australia batted first and scored 338 in the famous Sydney Test between India and Australia in 2021. Without Jadeja’s brilliant bowling, the total would have been much higher. He took four wickets, including those of Marnus Labuschagne (91), and Matthew Wade. He also used a run-out to get rid of the centurion Steve Smith.
In the match, Navdeep Saini and Mohammed Siraj, two inexperienced bowlers, were in India’s lineup. Jadeja’s performance was therefore all the more crucial.
Hanuma Vihari and Ravichandran Ashwin’s tenacious and memorable partnership helped the Test end in a tie. But for everyone who questioned Jadeja’s spinner skills outside of Asia, this served as a reminder of his tenacity and excellence.
3 3-58 (London, 2023)
In Australia’s second innings of the WTC Final 2023, Ravindra Jadeja secured three key wickets. These featured Steve Smith and Travis Head, the first inning centurions. Cameron Green, who was well-positioned and dangerous, was his third victim.
Travis Head was frequently troubled by Jadeja during his 27-ball stint at the crease because the southpaw found it difficult to pick his deliveries that ended up in the rough.
The bowling of Jadeja slowed down the Australian offensive, giving India some momentum and an opportunity to advance to the WTC Final.
