Ravindra Jadeja One Wicket Away From Claiming Mammoth Record In Test Cricket

India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is on the brink of a huge record in Test cricket. The star player could thus top a list a list that includes two other Indian greats -- Kapil Dev and Ravichandran Ashwin. Jadeja needs only one wicket to complete 300 scalps in Test cricket. If he manages to achieve the feat in India's Kanpur Test vs Bangladesh, it will make him the fastest player from the nation to complete 3000 runs and 300 wickets in Test cricket. Overall, Jadeja will be at the second spot as Ian Botham, who took 72 matches to reach the milestone, is at the helm. The ongoing second Test vs Bangladesh is Jadeja's 73rd game in the format.

Bad light followed by heavy rain ended play before tea on day one of the second Test between India and Bangladesh in Kanpur with the visitors 107-3 on Friday, while the next two days were washed out without a ball being bowled. 

Mominul Haque, on 40, and Mushfiqur Rahim, on six, were batting when dark clouds made visibility tough and umpires took the players off the ground after lunch.

The match could be the last Test outing for former Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan, who announced his impending international retirement on Thursday.

Dim light turned into heavy rain and officials called off play after the covers were laid out, with more downpours forecast for Saturday in the northern Indian city.

India, who lead the two-match series 1-0, elected to field in overcast conditions and fast bowler Akash Deep vindicated captain Rohit Sharma's decision with two wickets in the first hour of play.

He removed openers Zakir Hasan, caught out for a duck, and Shadman Islam, trapped lbw on 24, with his seaming deliveries to the left-handers.

Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, who made 31, put on 51 runs
