India vs Pakistan Super Four: Ravindra Jadeja Eyes Sachin Tendulkar’s Record

Written by Abhishek Patil

Ravindra Jadeja impressed everyone with his bowling performance against Bangladesh in the Asia Cup 2018 Super 4 encounter and against Pakistan, he has a chance to surpass India legend Sachin Tendulkar.

Tendulkar, who was a quality part-time bowling option during his playing days, is currently the top wicket-taker for India in Asia Cup history with 17 wickets. While Tendulkar has 17 wickets from 23 encounters, Jadeja has taken 16 in just 11 games. The third place is occupied by off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin who has taken 14 wickets in just 7 matches.

Jadeja, playing his first ODI since July 2017, finished the match with figures of 4/29 – his sixth four-wicket haul in ODI cricket – and thanks to his heroics, India were able to beat Bangladesh comfortably by seven wickets in their Super Four clash.
