Chennai Super Kings allrounder Ravindra Jadeja has become the first player with at least 100 catches, 1000 runs and 100 wickets in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Jadeja reached the milestone during the Kings’ seven-wicket win over the Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday.
The allrounder took two catches to reach the 100 mark and also had three wickets in his first eight balls to be named player of the match.
Jadeja has taken 156 wickets and made 2776 runs in the IPL.
The 35-year-old joins Virat Kohli (110), Suresh Raina (109), Kieron Pollard (103) and Rohit Sharma (100) for most catches by a fielder in the IPL.
“I don’t count my catches,” Jadeja said during the innings break.
After the match Jadeja said he always enjoys bowling in Chennai.
“My plan was just to bowl in good areas,” he said.
“I have practised a lot here and if you bowl in good areas it will definitely assist you.”
Chennai, who came into the match after back-to-back losses, are fourth in the standings with three wins from five games.
