Ravindra Jadeja creates history, hits 3rd triple ton in first class cricket

Ravindra Jadeja became the first Indian batsman and only the eighth in the first-class history to hit three triple-centuries. He scored his career-best unbeaten 320 which helped Saurashtra reach a mammoth 534 for six against Railways in a Ranji Trophy Group A match, in Rajkot yesterday. The left-hander, who had smashed 303 in the first match of the season against Gujarat, scored his second triple ton and third overall to become the only Indian cricketer to achieve such a feat. While VVS Laxman and Wasim Jaffer have two triple centuries each in Ranji Trophy, Virender Sehwag has scored couple of 300 plus scores in Test matches.Jadeja joined an elite club of seven others who have three triple tons to their credit. They are Sir Don Bradman, Brian Lara, Bill Ponsford, Wally Hammond, WG Grace, Graeme Hick, and Mike Hussey.
