India’s star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja put on a bowling masterclass in the ongoing Ranji Trophy, picking up a stellar Five Wicket haul during the match between Saurashtra and Delhi.

Notably, the India star is plying his trade for his state team Saurashtra following the BCCI directive requiring players to appear in domestic cricket, issued after India’s horrendous Test season.

Making his first Ranji appearance in two years, Jadeja needed just 11 deliveries to make an impact. The 36-year-old started by dismissing Sanat Sangwan, trapping him LBW on 12 (28). He removed Yash Dhull in a similar fashion next, who was well set on 44, breaking a dangerous 51-run stand between him and Ayush Badoni for the third wicket. Jadeja went on to dismiss Badoni for 60, claiming his third wicket of the match.

Jaddu finally completed the Fifer by picking up the wickets of Tailenders Harsh Tyagi and Navdeep Saini.

This was Jadeja’s 18th five-wicket haul in the Ranji Trophy, finishing with figures of 5/66 as he helped dismiss Rishabh Pant’s Delhi for a paltry score of 188 in their first innings. In the process, the dynamic left-hander also brought his 200th in the competition, becoming the fourth Saurashtra bowler after Jaydev Unadkat, Dharmendrasinh Jadeja and Kamlesh Makvana to reach the milestone.

Ravindra Jadeja has an impressive record with the bat in the Ranji Trophy as well, scoring 3,399 runs at an average of 58.6 for Saurashtra. He has also achieved the rare feat of scoring three triple centuries during his career.

Jadeja is also one of only 20 players in Ranji Trophy history to achieve the remarkable double of 3,000 runs and 200 wickets.
