From Jacques Kallis to Kapil Dev, 5 all-rounders with 5000 runs and 100+ wickets in Tests

R Ashwin continues to add feather to his illustrious cap. During Day 1 of the fourth and penultimate Test between India and England, the ace spinner&nbsp;became the first&nbsp;from the country&nbsp;to claim 100 wickets against England&nbsp;in the purest format of the game. In addition, the 37-year-old&nbsp;became the seventh&nbsp;man in the history of the sport to achieve the rare double of 100 scalps and 1,000-plus runs (first-ever Indian). Against England, he is the fourth with this rare double in Tests.

Ashwin achieved the special feat during the opening session of the fourth Test, which kicked off&nbsp;at the JSCA International Stadium on Friday (Feb 23). The wily off-spinner removed dangerman Jonny Bairstow, who was looking good in the middle, to attain the rare double. He trapped the Englishman lbw after the veteran batter went for a sweep but missed connecting the ball. Initially, the on-field umpire Kumar&nbsp;Dharmasena gave it not-out but a review from Indian captain Rohit Sharma took the decision upstairs, resulting in a wicket for the home side.

<h2>ASHWIN IN ELITE LIST VS ENGLAND</h2>

Gary Sobers (West Indies):&nbsp;3,214 runs and 102 scalps vs England 
Monty Noble (Australia):&nbsp;1,905 runs and 115 wickets vs England 
Giffen (Australia):&nbsp;1,238 runs and 103 wickets vs England 
R Ashwin (India): 1,085 runs and 100 wickets vs England

Talking about Day 1 of the Ranchi Test between India and England, the visitors opted to bat first but were rocked by debutant Akash Deep's early scalps to be left tottering at 112 for 5 before they went to&nbsp;tea break at 198 for 5, with Joe Root unbeaten at 67.

IND vs ENG, Ranchi Test: Ace spinner R Ashwin joins elite list after special double in Tests vs England

India will be looking to continue their winning run and aim for a 2-0 clean sweep when they take on Sri Lanka in the second and final Test of the two-match series at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The second Test which will be a pink-ball game between the two sides is all set to get underway from Saturday (March 12).

The M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is like Kohli's second home ground as the former India captain has been representing the local franchise Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) since the inception of the league in 2008. As Kohli returns to the venue, he will hope for a great outing with the willow.

Kohli, who hasn't scored a century in international cricket since November 2019, will be hoping to bring an end to the drought in the pink-ball Test against Sri Lanka. Besides his 71st international century, Kohli will also be aiming to surpass some of the legends of the game like Mark Waugh and Gary Sobers in the elite list of highest run-getters in Test cricket.

Kohli, who made his 100th Test appearance for India in the first Test against Sri Lanka in Mohali, currently has 8007 runs to his name in 100 Test matches for the country.

He is currently on the 32nd spot on the list of highest run-getters in Test cricket and is just 22 runs away from surpassing Australian great Mark Waugh. Kohli can also go past the legendary Gary Sobers if he manages to get 26 runs in the pink-ball Test in Bengaluru.

Among Indian batters, Kohli is currently the fifth-highest run-getter for the country. He is 578 runs short of going past Virender Sehwag, who finished his Test career with 8586 runs in 104 Test matches. After an average outing in his 100th game, Kohli will be hoping to make it count in the pink-ball Test in Bengaluru.

Virat Kohli on cusp of surpassing Mark Waugh, Gary Sobers in elite list as India take on Sri Lanka in 2nd Test

Star India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been enjoying a fabulous outing in the ongoing first Test between India and Sri Lanka at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) Stadium in Mohali. After smashing an unbeaten 175 in India's first innings, Jadeja continued his brilliant run with the ball during Sri Lanka's first innings on Day 3 of the Test match.

Jadeja, who had dismissed Sri Lankan skipper Dimuth Karunaratne on Day 2 of the first Test in Mohali, ran through Sri Lanka's lower-middle order on Day 3 of the Test match on Sunday. Jadeja was the pick of the bowlers for India on Day 3 as he ended up picking a five-wicket haul to achieve a rare double in the longest format.

Jadeja became only the sixth player in the world to score 150-plus runs and pick up a five-wicket haul in a Test match. He has now joined the likes of legendary Gary Sobers, Vinoo Mankad and Polly Umrigar among others in an elite list of players who achieved the rare double feat in the same Test match.

Players with 150-plus score and a 5-wicket haul in a Test match:

Vinoo Mankad (184 and 5/196) vs England in 1952 
Denis Atkinson (219 and 5/56) vs Australia in 1955 
Polly Umrigar (172* and 5/107) vs West Indies in 1962 
Gary Sobers (174 and 5/41) vs England in 1966 
Mushtaq Mohammad (201 and 5/49) vs New Zealand 1973 
Ravindra Jadeja (175* and 5/41) vs Sri Lanka 2022

Ravindra Jadeja equals&nbsp;Bishan Singh Bedi's record

Jadeja achieved another stellar feat with the help of his five-wicket haul in the ongoing first Test against Sri Lanka in Mohali as he equalled Bishan Singh Bedi's record for most five-wicket hauls by a left-arm spinner in India. Jadeja, who finished with figures of 5/41 in Sri Lanka's second innings, scalped his 8th five-wicket haul at home. Bedi too had picked up 8 five-wicket hauls in India throughout his Test career.

With the help of Jadeja's all-round show, India managed to bundle out Sri Lanka cheaply for a paltry 174 runs in the visitors' first innings before enforcing the follow-on. Sri Lanka got off to a dismal start once again in their second innings as they lost opener Lahiru Thirimane on a duck before Pathum Nissanka was dismissed cheaply on 6 off 19 balls.

India are in a strong position in the series-opener and look set for a comprehensive win to go 1-0 up in the two-match series.
