Ravindra Jadeja surpassed Zaheer Khan to become India’s fifth-highest wicket-taker in international cricket with 611 wickets. He continues in Tests and ODIs, though questions loom about his Test retirement.
London | July 11, 2025 – All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has etched his name in the record books yet again. In the third Test match against England at Lord’s, Jadeja dismissed Ollie Pope, marking a historic milestone — he has now become India’s fifth-highest wicket-taker in international cricket, overtaking pace legend Zaheer Khan.
With that crucial wicket, Jadeja’s tally reached 611 international wickets, moving him just ahead of Zaheer Khan, who had 610 wickets across formats. Zaheer, a World Cup winner and once India’s pace spearhead, now holds the sixth position on the all-time Indian wicket-takers list.
Jadeja’s rise has been remarkable. Known for his deadly accuracy, smart fielding, and match-winning ability with both bat and ball, he’s long been hailed as one of the best all-rounders in modern cricket.
In Test cricket alone, Jadeja has taken 314 wickets, placing him firmly in the top five Indian Test bowlers. His ability to contribute in all three departments makes him a key asset to Team India.
Jadeja has retired from T20 internationals, but he continues to be active in Tests and ODIs. However, with rising questions about workload management and fitness, speculation is mounting over his future in Test cricket.
For now, fans and analysts alike are celebrating his latest feat at the historic Lord’s — a ground where Indian legends are often born.
