Jadeja touched another milestone by bowling Smith, know in which case he became the number-1 bowler now?

India vs Australia: The first Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is being played between India and Australia at the Vidarbha Cricket Association ground in Nagpur. The first day of the game was completely in the name of India, in which Ravindra Jadeja’s brilliant bowling, the team put Australia on a score of 177 runs. Steve Smith, the most important batsman of the Kangaroo team, could not do anything special and was bowled by Jadeja on a personal score of 37 runs.

Australian captain Pat Cummins decided to bat first after winning the toss in this match, but in the second over of the innings, the team got its first blow in the form of Usman Khawaja, who became the victim of Mohammad Siraj after scoring just 1 run. At the same time, in the very next over, David Warner bowled Mohammed Shami and gave second success to Team India.

From here, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith did not let the team suffer any further setbacks in the first season. After this, with the start of the second session, Jadeja broke this important partnership by taking the wicket of Labushen. Jadeja started showing the magic of his spin from here and even Steve Smith, who was completely frozen on the pitch, showed the way to the pavilion by bowling brilliantly in his inside.

With this, Ravindra Jadeja has now come first in terms of bowling Steve Smith most times in Test format. Earlier, Stuart Broad, James Anderson, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Rangana Herath have bowled Steve Smith 2-2 times. Earlier, Jadeja bowled out Steve Smith in the Delhi Test in the year 2013 and then in the Test match played in Ranchi in the year 2017.

5 wickets in an innings achieved for the 11th time in Test cricket

Ravindra Jadeja has made a comeback in international cricket with a bang after almost 5 months after his knee surgery. Apart from Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith, he also took the wickets of Matt Renshaw, Peter Handscomb and Todd Murphy in this match. While Jadeja gave 47 runs in his 22 overs bowling, he also took 5 wickets. For this, Jadeja did this feat for the 11th time in an innings of Test format.
