Ravindra Jadeja Creates History, Becomes 1st Player In The World To...
Last Updated: Jadeja is the first player in the world to score 2000 runs and take 100 wickets in the World Test Championship. Ravindra Jadeja entered his name in the history books on Thursday (July 3) by becoming the first player in the world to score 2000 runs and take 100 wickets in the World Test Championship. The 36-year-old all-rounder from Jamanagar, who has 132 wickets to his name in 41 WTC matches played so far, completed 2000 runs in WTC for India on Thursday. Jadeja needed 79 runs in the first innings of the 2nd India-England Test currently underway at Edgbaston in Birmingham to complete 2000 runs in the WTC, and he achieved the objective in the morning session of the 2nd day's play. A total of 15 players have dismissed more than 100 batters, and 26 players have scored more than 2000 runs in the WTC, but world No. 1 Test all-rounder Jadeja is the only player to feature in both the lists. Jadeja is overall fifth Indian batter after Rohit Sharma (2716), Virat Kohli (2617), Rishabh Pant (2529) and Shubman Gill (2216*) to score 2000 or more runs in the WTC. Most runs for India in WTC Most wickets for India in WTC In 61 innings of 41 WTC matches played so far, Jadeja has scored 2010 runs. He has three centuries and 13 fifties to his name. With the ball, he has picked up 132 wickets, which includes six five-wicket hauls and six four-fers. In the WTC only two players—Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin—have scored more than 1000 runs and taken 100 wickets. Ashwin, who is India's highest wicket-taker in WTC, finished his career with 1142 runs and 195 wickets in 41 WTC matches for India. Australia's Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc have 210 and 180 wickets, respectively, to their names in the WTC, but they have not crossed the 1000-run mark so far. In 49 WTC matches for Aussies, Cummins has amassed a total of 970 runs, and Starc has scored 915 runs in 65 innings of 47 WTC matches. England's Chris Woakes has picked up 102 wickets in 31 WTC matches and in addition to scoring 983 runs with the bat. Jadeja scored 89 runs from 137 balls for India in the first innings of the second Test and added 203 runs for the sixth wicket with captain Shubman Gill, who was unbeaten on 168 at the lunch of Day 2.

ENG vs IND 2nd Test Session 2: Gill slams 250; England on back foot
India have taken the full control of the second Test at Edgbaston against England as they managed to go past the second session of Day 2 with the scoreboard reading 564 for 7. Skipper Shubman Gill continued his form and went on to score his maiden Test 250, showing no signs of slowing down. Washington Sundar, whose selection was much discussed, played the perfect anchor role and scored a brilliant 42 to justify his inclusion. India began the second session in steady fashion, trying to settle again after a 40-minute break, but soon changed the pace and launched a counter-attack with some big shots. Gill maintained his rhythm and brought up his maiden Test double hundred, becoming only the sixth Indian captain to achieve this feat. He also became the first Asian batter to cross the 200-run mark in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia) countries. Gill was brilliantly supported by Sundar, who played big shots of his own to help India cross the much-anticipated 500-run mark. By this point, England's bowlers appeared in complete disarray and began delivering more loose balls, making batting even easier for the Indian pair. As a result, Gill converted his double hundred into 250 in under an hour and broke Sachin Tendulkar's record of 254 for the highest Test score by an Indian skipper. India lost another wicket just at the stroke of the tea break, as Joe Root dismissed Sundar for 42 to finally expose India's lower order. By the time the session ended, India had added 150 more runs to their total with the loss of just one wicket. Shubman Gill (265 not out) and Washington Sundar (39 not out) will again be the two batters to resume India's proceedings in the third and final session of the day. Earlier, resuming from an overnight strong position, India added 109 runs in the first session while losing just one wicket. Captain Shubman Gill continued his rich form, bringing up his maiden Test 150 and becoming only the second Indian skipper after Mohammad Azharuddin to do so. Ravindra Jadeja provided solid support, completing his 23rd Test half-century before falling for 89 while trying to accelerate. The duo added a commanding 200-run stand for the fifth wicket—the second instance of an Indian pair achieving such a partnership at Edgbaston, after Jadeja and Rishabh Pant's 222-run stand in 2022. Despite occasional movement from Chris Woakes and some sharp bouncers from England's pacers, the Indian batters looked untroubled. A brief on-field altercation occurred over Jadeja's movement on the pitch after a shot, but it was quickly defused.

IND vs ENG: Historic first! India record twin century partnerships for 6th and 7th wickets in SENA countries
India's captain Shubman Gill, center, celebrates after scoring 250 runs on day two of the second cricket test match between England and India at Edgbaston in Birmingham, England. AP/PTI(AP07_03_2025_000390A) In a historic first, India have registered two century partnerships for the sixth and seventh wickets in SENA countries in the ongoing second Test against England at Edgbaston. This is just the second time that a visiting team has had two century stands for the sixth wicket or lower in a Test innings in England, after West Indies at Trent Bridge in 1957. It's the second such instance for India in an away Test after Kingston in 1971. In both partnerships, captain Shubman Gill stood tall and was equally well supported by Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar . Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! On the opening day, when Ravindra Jadeja walked out to bat, India were in a spot of bother with the scorecard reading 211/5. Jadeja and Gill forged a 203-run stand for the sixth wicket. Jadeja was undone by a sharp bouncer bowled by Joshua Tongue. He missed a well-deserved century. If he had got those 11 runs, it would have been his second century at this venue. Next in, Washington Sundar stitched another valuable 144-run stand with captain Shubman Gill for the seventh wicket. Washington Sundar was cleaned up by Joe Root. India captain Shubman Gill scored a superb maiden Test double-century as he again led from the front against England in the second Test at Edgbaston on Thursday. Gill continued to take a toll on England's attack as he once more batted in near-flawless fashion.

EXCLUSIVE | David Gower on Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah and India's England tour Gill also struck two fours in three balls off fast bowler Josh Tongue, an on-drive followed by a flick off the hip that saw Joe Root and Zak Crawley almost collide in a failed attempt to prevent the boundary. A hooked single off Tongue took Gill to 200 in 311 balls, including 21 fours and two sixes, with India then 472-6 as the elated skipper bowed to a capacity crowd in celebration. It was not long before the 25-year-old Gill, in just his second Test as captain, set a new record for the highest score by an India batsman in a Test in England, surpassing the great Sunil Gavaskar's 221 at The Oval back in 1979.
