Ravindra Jadeja Becomes First in IPL History to Achieve a Unique Milestone

In an IPL match held at the Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) defeated Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by a margin of 7 wickets. All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who took three key wickets and caught two spectacular catches, was awarded the ‘Player of the Match.’ Through this match, Jadeja achieved a rare feat in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL), becoming the first player to score 1000 runs, take 100 catches, and claim 100 wickets. No one has achieved this milestone in the IPL history until now.

KKR played well up to the powerplay overs (the first six overs) in the match. However, Jadeja, who came into the bowl in the 7th over, started the downfall of the team. Angkrish was dismissed LBW on the first ball of Jadeja’s 7th over. Similarly, he sent the dangerous-looking Sunil Narine back to the pavilion on the fifth delivery of the same over. Jadeja claimed his third wicket of Venkatesh Iyer. Thus, the all-rounder gave away only 18 runs in his four overs and took three wickets. He also caught Phil Salt and Shreyas Iyer, completing 100 catches in the league’s history.
