India’s celebrated all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja, has etched his name into the record books with a remarkable achievement. On October 13, 2025, during the second Test against the West Indies in Delhi, Jadeja surpassed Harbhajan Singh’s record to become the third-highest wicket-taker for India in international cricket at home. The milestone came when he dismissed West Indies opener John Campbell, taking his career total to 377 wickets in international cricket. Only Ravichandran Ashwin (475 wickets) and Anil Kumble (476 wickets) now stand ahead of him on the list.
Jadeja’s Record-Breaking Feat
With this achievement, Jadeja now has 377 wickets, 246 of which have come in Tests played at home. He is now placed just behind Ashwin and Kumble in the elite list of Indian bowlers who have made their mark in home conditions. Jadeja’s exceptional all-round ability has contributed significantly to India’s dominance in international cricket, making him the fifth-highest wicket-taker for India in Test cricket overall.

Jadeja’s Impressive Performance Against the West Indies
Ravindra Jadeja has been in sensational form recently, and his record against the West Indies speaks volumes. In nine Test matches against the Caribbean side, he has taken 31 wickets at an average of 21.58. This includes crucial performances like his recent all-round brilliance in the first Test of this series, where he scored an unbeaten 104 and took four wickets to help India secure an innings victory in Ahmedabad.
Not only has Jadeja been pivotal in India’s dominant Test performances, but his form in recent international tours has been exceptional. During India’s tour of England, Jadeja scored five half-centuries and a century, contributing to the team’s success with both bat and ball.
As India lead the two-match Test series 1-0 after a massive win in Ahmedabad, Jadeja’s all-round contributions continue to make a difference. Despite the West Indies fighting back in Delhi with centuries from John Campbell (115) and Shai Hope (103), Jadeja’s brilliance with the ball and bat remains a vital asset for India as they aim to seal the series victory.
