Sun Nov 03 05:00:00 UTC 2024: ## Jadeja Reaches 50 Wickets in WTC, India Eyes Mumbai Test Victory

**Mumbai:** Indian left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja has delivered a stellar performance in the ongoing Mumbai Test against New Zealand, taking a total of 9 wickets so far. This achievement also marks a significant milestone for Jadeja, as he completed his 50th wicket in the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 cycle.

Jadeja achieved the feat on the second day of the match when he dismissed Matt Henry in New Zealand’s second innings. He becomes the second Indian bowler after Ravichandran Ashwin to achieve this milestone in the current WTC cycle.

Jadeja’s consistent performance with both bat and ball in recent years has cemented his importance for Team India, both domestically and on foreign tours. Captain Rohit Sharma has full faith in his abilities.

While India is aiming for a win in the Mumbai Test, the path ahead seems challenging. Chasing a target of almost 150 runs on the Wankhede pitch in the fourth innings will be no easy feat. Team India will need a strong batting performance in the final innings to secure victory. Historically, only one team has successfully chased down a target over 150 runs in the fourth innings on this ground.
