During their second innings on Day 2 of the first Test, South Africa was under immense pressure when Ravindra Jadeja came up with what probably was the best ball of the match. The moment happened in the 23rd over and turned the game even more in India's favor. Jadeja bowled an absolute peach to get rid of Tristan Stubbs, which also fetched him a huge personal milestone: 250 Test wickets in India. Jadeja's Perfect Ball Shocks Stubbs The wicket came with the last ball of the 22nd over and it was a delivery that very few batters would have survived. Jadeja bowled from slightly wide on the angle and got it to drift in and then turn sharply. Stubbs went back in his crease and tried to cover the angle, but the ball spun past his outside edge and hit the top of off stump. Stubbs could only look back disbelief at what just happened.

Once again, Jadeja demonstrated the havoc he could wreak in the second innings under Indian conditions. The wicket was not just important in the context of the particular match but also a significant personal milestone within Jadeja's Test career.

There are only these players in front of him: Ravichandran Ashwin - 383 Anil Kumble - 350 Harbhajan Singh - 265 Ravindra Jadeja - 250 Jadeja also gets the rare double. He became only the second cricketer in Test history to score 2000+ runs and take 250+ wickets in one country. The only other player to have done so is England's fast bowler Stuart Broad who achieved this feat in England. This milestone adds another dimension of value to Jadeja as an all-round asset while bringing to the fore the extent to which he has been invaluable to India over the years, especially in home conditions-most importantly, his all-round consistency continues to keep him in the world's top ranks.
