Another five-wicket haul on home ground took him past some other greats like Kapil Dev, Glenn McGrath and Waqar Younis. Among all the spinners, only seven players are ahead of him. Among active cricketers, only R Ashwin (29) and Shakib Al Hasan (14) hold the record of taking more five-wicket hauls at home.
Jadeja took 5 wickets in the first innings
Jadeja became the tenth left-arm spinner to take a five-wicket haul in Tests at the Wankhede Stadium. Ajaz Patel, who was playing Test on the same ground, also took all ten wickets in his innings against India in 2021. Jadeja's brilliant bowling devastated New Zealand's batting and the visiting team decided to bat first, after which New Zealand was all out for 235 runs in 65.4 overs.
