    What's the story

    Veteran Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has completed 200 wickets in home Tests.

    He accomplished the milestone with his first scalp on Day 3 of the ongoing third Test against England in Rajkot.

    Jadeja, who scored a ton earlier in the game, has also completed 500 wickets in First-Class cricket.

    Though he was expensive early on, he eventually finished with two wickets.

    Information

    A fine spell from Jadeja 

    Jadeja dismissed the dangerous Ben Stokes (41) to open his account in the game. The latter mistimed a big shot as Jasprit Bumrah took a fine catch at mid-on. Tom Hartley (9), who was stumped, was Jadeja's other victim. He finished with 2/51 (10 overs).
