While the Indian team will eye a series win in the third ODI against Australia at Ranchi, the pair MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja will aim for to bag a unique record in their name. The wicketkeeper-bowler pair currently has 28 dismissals together, and one more dismissal by the duo will break the record for most wicketkeeper-bowler dismissals among Indian players.
Veteran Indian bowler Venkatesh Prasad and wicketkeeper Nayan Mongia hold the record for most dismissals together for India, which is 28. Thus, MS and Jadeja are on the verge becoming the most successful bowler-keeper Indian pair. The duo combined in the last match to dismiss Shaun Marsh, and surpassed Dhoni-Harbhajan’s dismissal tally of 27 wickets. Ravindra Jadeja, who debuted under MS Dhoni’s captainship in 2009, has evolved as one of the most successful all-rounders for India.
The third ODI between India and Australia will be played at JSCA international stadium in Ranchi today (March 8). The match will be an emotional moment for Dhoni as this is possibly the last match of the former skipper on his home ground.
