Ravindra Jadeja Breaks MS Dhoni’s Record in Ahmedabad, Closes in on Rohit and Sehwag

Indian cricket's star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja scripted history on Friday during the first Test against West Indies at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. With a blazing half-century, Jadeja surpassed MS Dhoni’s record for the most sixes in Test cricket among Indian wicketkeeper-batsmen and now eyes the tallies of legends like Virender Sehwag and Rohit Sharma.

💥 Jadeja Smashes 79th Six in Test Career

Jadeja reached his half-century off just 75 balls, smashing three boundaries and four sixes. With his fourth six of the innings, he overtook MS Dhoni’s record of 78 sixes in Test matches.

• MS Dhoni: 78 sixes in 90 Tests
• Ravindra Jadeja: 79 sixes in 86 Tests

Impressively, Jadeja hit his 79th six on the 7,111th ball of his Test career, whereas Dhoni took 8,104 deliveries to reach 78 sixes.

🏆 India’s Top Six-Hitters in Test Cricket

With this feat, Jadeja now sits at fourth on the list of Indian cricketers with the most Test sixes:

• Rishabh Pant – 90 sixes
• Virender Sehwag – 90 sixes
• Rohit Sharma – 88 sixes
• Ravindra Jadeja – 79 sixes

Given his current form, Jadeja is well on track to leapfrog Rohit and challenge the top spot in the near future.

💯 KL Rahul Hits Century on Home Soil

Adding to India’s dominance, KL Rahul scored a brilliant century on Day 2 of the Test. He reached the milestone in 190 balls, eventually scoring 197 runs with 12 fours.

This marks Rahul’s second Test century against West Indies, and his first at home since his near double-century (199 runs) against England in 2016.
