Kerala’s all-rounder Jalaj Saxena became the first player to achieve the remarkable double of 6000 runs and 400 wickets in the Ranji Trophy during the Elite Group C fourth-round match against Uttar Pradesh at St Xavier’s College Ground.
Saxena, who crossed the 6000-run mark in Kerala’s previous match in Kolkata, reached the milestone after he claimed his fourth dismissal of the game, taking the wicket of left-hander Nitish Rana with a sharp off-spin delivery that saw Rana stumped.
