Ravindra Jadeja also took five wickets in New Zealand’s second innings, completing a stellar performance by taking 10 wickets (10/120) in the third and final Test of the series at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. This became Jadeja’s second best performance in his Test career, after taking five wickets in New Zealand’s first innings. His best performance came against Australia in Delhi in 2023 where he recorded figures of 10/110.
This is the first time in Ravindra Jadeja’s career that Jadeja has taken five wickets in both the innings. His five-wicket haul in the first innings gave India an early lead and his brilliant bowling in the second innings kept the New Zealand lineup under constant pressure.
