Apart from being the number 1 ranked bowler in test matches, Ravindra Jadeja has become the new number 1 ranked all-rounder going past Bangladesh Shakib- AL- Hasan.

The left arm spinner took 7 wickets and scored 70 runs in the second test match played at SSC, Colombo against Sri Lanka. The Indian team won by an innings and 53 runs. It is a great achievement for Jadeja to be the best all-rounder in the world. He took his 150th wicket in test matches during his 32nd test match.
