Ravindra Jadeja’s career-best Test figures helped India beat Australia by six wickets inside three days of the second test to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with a 2-0 lead in the four-match series on Sunday. Jadeja claimed a career-best 7-42 as he and Ravichandran Ashwin (3-59) routed Australia for a paltry 113 in their second innings at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Jadeja was the star for India as he claimed seven wickets to bundle out Australia for just 113 on Day 3 of the second Border-Gavaskar Trophy encounter on Sunday. Australia started the day on 61 for the loss of one wicket but a brilliant bowling display from Jadeja. Among the seven wickets taken by Jadeja, five were bowled dismissals and it was the first time in around 21 years that a spinner achieved such a feat. Incidentally, the last time a spinner took five bowled dismissals in an innings was compatriot Anil Kumble against South Africa in Joburg in 1992.
