Ravindra Jadeja completes 150 IPL wickets, accomplishes this double 

Ravindra Jadeja has raced to 150 wickets in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and with this milestone, he has completed a historic double. Jadeja is now the only all-rounder with over 2,000 runs and 150 wickets in IPL. Qualifier 1 of IPL 2023 between Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings marked his milestone. Here we look at his stellar stats in the competition.

• Jadeja is nothing but a captain's delight in white-ball cricket as he can contribute with runs lower the order.
• Besides, the left-arm spinner can deliver four handy bowlers most days.
• His fielding abilities make him an even greater asset.
• Jadeja's all-round prowess has been instrumental to CSK's success over the years.
• The 34-year-old has tasted the IPL glory twice with CSK.

Meanwhile, Jadeja completed 150 wickets in 225 IPL games at an economy of just over 7.5. The tally includes three four-wicket hauls and a solitary fifer. He entered the GT game, requiring a wicket to get the landmark. With the bat, Jadeja has over 2,600 IPL runs at a decent strike rate of 128-plus. He has smoked a couple of half-centuries in the competition.

123 of Jadeja's 150 IPL wickets have come in CSK colors in 157 games. His economy rate in this regard is a tad below 7.5. Only Dwayne Bravo (140) has taken more wickets for the franchise. Jadeja's tally of 1,600-plus runs is the eighth-highest for a CSK batter. No other all-rounder has 1,600-plus runs and over 100 wickets for a franchise.

Jadeja has been at his all-round best in the ongoing season. He is CSK's second-leading wicket-taker with 18 wickets in 15 games with his economy being just over seven. Only the 2014 edition saw the left-arm spinner scalp more wickets in a season (19). With the bat, he has smoked over 150 runs at a 135-plus strike rate this year.
