Jalaj Saxena from Kerala created history by taking 400 wickets and scoring 6,000 runs in the Ranji Trophy. He took a fifer against Uttar Pradesh and completed his feat after scalping Nitish Rana. The 37-year-old Saxena, even though couldn't make into the international team, is still an important asset for the state team. Robin Uthappa, another Kerala prodigy and former Indian cricketer, congratulated Saxena on this amazing feat. He posted on X, "Some greats don’t always get to don the India jersey. But they leave a legacy nonetheless. One that leaves an impact on their team mates, young budding cricketers, and our domestic cricket circuit on the whole. @jalajsaxena33 is one of those. Incredible achievement!" Some greats don’t always get to don the India jersey. But they leave a legacy nonetheless.
