Ravindra Jadeja joined an elite list of Indian all-rounders during India vs Australia 2nd ODI in Nagpur.

India vs Australia 2nd ODI: Ravindra Jadeja on Friday joined legends Sachin Tendulkar and Kapil Dev in an elite list of Indian allrounders. After scoring 10 runs in the match, the left-handed batsman became the third Indian cricketer to score 2,000 runs and take more than 150 wickets in ODI cricket.

Jadeja scored 21 runs as India posted 250 in the second One-day International. 

Skipper Virat Kohli's resolute 40th hundred under pressure steered India to the competitive total despite a middle-order collapse. Jadeja joined Kohli with India at 171/6 with India having lost Kedar Jadhav and MS Dhoni of two consecutive balls. Jadeja and Kohli added 67 runs for the 8th wicket. Jadeja departed for 21 off 40 balls he was caught off Pat Cummings by Usman Khawaja. 

Australia's spin troika of Adam Zampa (2/62 in 10 overs), Glenn Maxwell (1/45 in 10 overs) and Nathan Lyon (1/42 in 10 overs) bowled well in the middle overs although it was Pat Cummins who had the best figures of 4 for 29.
