Jadeja needs one wicket to pass Walsh in India-West Indies ODIs

Ravindra Jadeja will become the highest wicket-taker in ODIs between India and West Indies if he takes one wicket in Sunday's series opener. He currently shares the record with Courtney Walsh on 44 wickets, having achieved the tally in 32 matches compared to Walsh's 38.

Jadeja has not played an ODI since January 2026 against New Zealand. He needs 95 runs across the three-match series to reach 3,000 ODI runs and would become only the second Indian after Kapil Dev to complete 3,000 runs and 200 wickets in the format.

India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak said experience is something you cannot beat and backed Jadeja's all-round value ahead of the series. The first ODI will be played at Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram.
