Ravindra Jadeja likely to break Kapil Dev, Courtney Walsh records in West Indies ODIs – Firstcricket News, Firstpost

Ravindra Jadeja, who will be Shikhar Dhawan’s deputy in the upcoming three-match ODI series vs West Indies, is likely to top an elite list featuring the likes of Courtney Walsh, Kapil Dev and Anil Kumble. Jadeja just needs four wickets to rise to top of the table of most wickets in India-West Indies.

Most wickets in India-West Indies ODIs:

Courtney Walsh: 44 wickets in 38 matches at 24.15
Kapil Dev: 43 wickets in 42 matches at 28.88
Anil Kumble: 41 wickets in 26 matches at 23.73
Ravindra Jadeja: 41 wickets in 29 matches at 29.87
Mohammed Shami: 37 wickets in 18 matches at 22.54

After missing most of the season post the IPL due to injury, Ravindra Jadeja is now back to being a regular name in the Indian squads. He featured in all three formats during the recent tour of England and had a substantial contribution with the bat – hundred in Edgbaston Test – which India lost to settle for a 2-2 scoreline in the five-Test series.

There are some reports of Jadeja likely missing out the three-ODI series but there is no official word from the BCCI or the team management yet.
