Kerala all-rounder Jalaj Saxena scripted history on November 6th, becoming the first player in Ranji Trophy history to achieve the double feat of scoring 6,000 runs and taking 400 wickets.
Saxena reached this milestone during Kerala’s Ranji Trophy match against Uttar Pradesh. He claimed his 400th wicket by dismissing Nitish Rana, solidifying his place as one of the most accomplished all-rounders in the history of the tournament.
Only 13 bowlers in Ranji Trophy history have taken 400 wickets, and Saxena is the only active cricketer to achieve this feat. His consistent performances over the years have made him a vital cog in the Kerala team.
With his all-round abilities, Saxena has been a valuable asset for Kerala, contributing significantly to their success in domestic cricket. His achievement is a testament to his hard work, dedication, and skill.
