Jalaj Saxena, who plays for Kerala in Ranji Trophy, is showing no signs of stopping. He continues to be in the headlines for his performances. Recently, Jalaj had created history in Ranji Trophy by taking 5 wickets in the first innings of the match being played against UP in Trivandrum. He became the first player to score 6000 runs along with taking 400 wickets in this tournament. Now in the second innings of the same match, he has taken 6 wickets and once again made a record in his name.

Jalaj made this record

Jalaj Saxena, maintaining his excellent form, bowled lethally in the second innings as well. This time he took 6 wickets for 41 runs. In this way, in both the innings he took 11 wickets for 97 runs. With this, he has left behind former Indian cricketer Bishan Singh Bedi and has joined the list of top-10 bowlers in terms of taking most wickets in the history of Ranji Trophy. Rajinder Goyal is at first place in this list with 637 wickets, while Jalaj Saxena is at 10th place. Not only this, he also achieved the feat of taking 5 wicket haul for the 30th time and 10 wicket haul for the 9th time.

On the basis of Jalaj's lethal bowling, Kerala had bundled out UP for 162 runs in the first innings. In response, a huge score of 395 runs was scored. Jalaj contributed 35 runs in this. In the second innings, the entire UP team was all out for just 116 runs. In this way, Kerala defeated UP by an innings and 117 runs in this match.

Harbhajan got angry at not being selected

Jalaj Saxena is counted among the best all-rounders in India's first class cricket. He has played a total of 144 first class matches so far, in which he has scored 6830 runs. During this period he has scored 14 centuries and 33 half-centuries. He has a total of 463 wickets in his name in first class cricket, out of which more than 400 wickets have been taken in Ranji Trophy. But the surprising thing is that Jalaj, who has performed so brilliantly in the first class, has not yet got a chance to make his Test debut for the Indian team.

Harbhajan Singh has expressed his displeasure regarding this. He has said that the Test team is being selected on the lines of IPL. In such a situation, there is no use of performing in Ranji. Let us tell you that Jalaj has got a chance to play only 1 match in IPL. In 2021, Punjab Kings had played a match in which they gave 27 runs in 3 overs and could not take any wicket. There itself
