Ashwin and Jadeja. Their friendship is no less than that of Jai and Veeru from the movie Sholay. Especially when it comes to home Tests, this pair is unmatched. Both of them attack their opponents as if they have been hungry for wickets for a long time. This style of both of them is the main reason for India's high mood in the World Test Championship. Not only this, the reason for Team India's dominance in the 11-year home Test series is also Ashwin and Jadeja.

Played 45 Tests together in 11 years, Team India lost only 3

Team India lost its last Test series at home in 2012. But, since then it has made it a habit to not lose a Test series at home. More than 4300 days have passed since the last Test series lost at home. During this period, India played 52 Tests, in which the pair of Ashwin and Jadeja played together in 45 Tests. With these two, India's dominance was such that Team India had to face defeat in only 3 of those 45 Tests.

54 Tests, 553 wickets… this is the magic of Ashwin-Jadeja

You must have seen batsmen enjoying partnerships in cricket. But, Ashwin and Jadeja do that in bowling. When they start from both ends, they do not stop. While writing the success story for India together, they have taken 553 wickets in the last 54 Tests. This is the second highest number of wickets for any spin pair. Only Muralitharan and Jayasuriya have taken more wickets than Ashwin-Jadeja with 667 wickets.

Call it batting or bowling, Ashwin and Jadeja are there

How dangerous Ashwin and Jadeja are can be seen from their overall statistics in Test cricket. On one hand, Ashwin has scored 3422 runs with 6 centuries and 14 half-centuries at an average of 26.94. Ravindra Jadeja has scored 3122 runs with 4 centuries and 21 half-centuries at an average of 36.73.

If we talk about bowling, Ashwin has taken 522 Test wickets so far at an average of 23.7, in which he has taken 5 plus wickets 37 times. Ravindra Jadeja has taken 299 wickets so far at an average of 24, in which he has taken 5 or more wickets 13 times.

Ashwin and Jadeja will become number 11 in the club of 10 players

Till now, there have been only 10 players in the history of Test cricket who have the magical figure of 300 wickets in addition to 3000 runs. Ashwin is also included in those 10 players and now Ravindra Jadeja has a chance to join that club as the 11th player. The Kanpur Test is going to be important for Ravindra Jadeja to capitalize on this opportunity.

Jadeja will complete 300 wickets in Test cricket as soon as he takes his first wicket in the second Test against Bangladesh to be played in Kanpur. With this achievement of Jadeja, this will be the first time in Test history that two players with 3000 runs and 300 wickets will be part of the playing eleven. The whole of India will be proud of this achievement achieved by Ashwin and Jadeja.
