Jadeja joins elite-600 wickets club, Rana creates unique record:Historic day for Indian bowlers in first ODI in Nagpur; England all out for 248

Two significant bowling milestones highlighted India's bowling performance against England in the first ODI at Nagpur's VCA Stadium on Thursday (February 6), as the visitors were dismissed for 248. Jadeja enters elite club Ravindra Jadeja became only the fifth Indian bowler to claim 600 international wickets, joining an illustrious list featuring Anil Kumble (953), Ravichandran Ashwin (765), Harbhajan Singh (707), and Kapil Dev (687). His figures of 3/26 helped him achieve this remarkable milestone while also extending his record as the highest wicket-taker in India-England ODIs with 42 scalps. Harshit Rana's remarkable debut record Debutant Harshit Rana created history by becoming the first Indian bowler to take three or more wickets in his debut innings across all three formats. His impressive figures of 3/53 completed a unique treble, following his 3/48 vs Australia In Perth on Test debut and 3/33 vs England in Pune on T20I debut. Match Situation The combined efforts of Jadeja (3/26) and Rana (3/53) proved instrumental in restricting England to 248 all out in this series opener, the first of three matches. Milestone Analysis Jadeja's entry into the 600-wicket club underscores his consistency across formats and his vital role in Indian cricket's bowling arsenal. The left-arm spinner has retired from T20Is but continues to play Tests and ODIs. Meanwhile, Rana's unique feat of taking three-plus wickets in debut matches makes him the frontrunner to get a place in India's squad for Champions Trophy if at all they need a replacement with doubts over the fitness of Jasprit Bumrah.Original Article
