- Jadeja was included in India’s playing XI for the opening Test.
- Jadeja has now taken 350 wickets in Test cricket.
- His 4,000-plus runs make his record even more impressive.
Ravindra Jadeja has etched his name into the history books once again after completing 350 wickets in Test cricket during India’s ongoing first Test against Sri Lanka.
Jadeja was included in India’s playing XI for the opening Test and once again showed why he remains one of the most important all-rounders in the side.
The former Chennai Super Kings all-rounder opened his wicket account in the morning session on Monday before adding another scalp in the third session.
The milestone came when Jadeja dismissed Sri Lanka captain Dhananjaya de Silva and then picked up the wicket of Keshara Nuwantha. With the second wicket, his Test tally reached 350.
Jadeja, who currently tops the ICC Test all-rounders’ rankings, has now joined a select group of players to have scored more than 4,000 Test runs and taken at least 350 wickets.
Jadeja Joins Elite All-Rounders' List
The achievement further highlights Jadeja's remarkable consistency in the longest format of the game. He has been a crucial part of India's Test setup for several years, contributing with both bat and ball.
Jadeja has now taken 350 wickets in Test cricket, while his batting numbers have also crossed the 4,000-run mark. He has scored 4,108 runs in 134 Test innings.
The all-rounder was not picked for India's one-off Test against Afghanistan in June 2026 but returned to the squad for the Sri Lanka series. Batting at No. 7 in India's first innings of the ongoing Test, Jadeja scored 13 runs.
Anil Kumble Leads India's Wicket-Takers
Despite Jadeja's latest milestone, Anil Kumble remains comfortably at the top of India's list of leading wicket-takers in Test cricket.
Kumble played 132 Tests between 1990 and 2008 and finished his legendary career with 619 wickets. He is followed by Ravichandran Ashwin, who took 537 wickets in the longest format.

Jadeja's tally of 350 wickets places him among India's most successful Test bowlers, while his 4,000-plus runs make his record even more impressive.
The latest achievement against Sri Lanka adds another major milestone to a Test career that has already established Jadeja as one of India's finest all-rounders.
