India completed a 2-0 whitewash against Bangladesh in the 2-match Test series with a 7-wicket win in the 2nd Test in Kanpur. One of the key contributors in the Test series was India's all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who took 4 wickets in the 2nd Test to reach a remarkable milestone as well.
Ravindra Jadeja picked up his 300th Test wicket on day 4 of the 2nd Test for India, making him only the 3rd Indian to get 300 wickets and 3000 runs in Test cricket.
Jadeja's incredible feat also saw him surpass former Pakistan captain Imran Khan as the fastest Asian to reach the 300 wickets and 3000 runs mark.
