Finally, what every Indian fan was waiting for happened. The magic of Ravindra Jadeja's spin was visible for the first time in the Test series against New Zealand. Jadeja achieved the feat of taking five wickets against New Zealand in the first innings of Mumbai Test. This left arm spinner completed his five wickets in the innings by dismissing Ish Sodhi and Matt Henry in the same over. Along with this, he also made a big record in his name.

Jadeja's magic in Wankhede

Rohit Sharma was the last to hand the ball to Ravindra Jadeja at the Wankhede Stadium. Ravindra Jadeja was dropped at number five. As soon as the ball came into the hands of this player, he gave sleepless nights to the New Zealand batsmen. Jadeja first made Will Young his victim in the same over, who was out on 71 runs. After this, he took the wicket of Blundell in the same over. Within no time, Jadeja also showed Blundell the way to the pavilion. Then after the tea break, Jadeja again came on the attack and he dismissed Ish Sodhi and Matt Henry in the same over and took five wickets in an innings for the 14th time in Test.

Talk about striking in quick succession!
