5 best Test bowling performances by Indians in the last decade

4. Ravindra Jadeja (7/48 vs England, Chennai, 2016)

Ravindra Jadeja bowled spectacularly in the Chennai Test of 2016 vs England

The figures that Ravindra Jadeja registered in this innings were simply splendid, but they came when nobody quite expected it.

It was the final Test of a five-match series and the visitors were already down 3-0. They had to bat out the entire fifth day to avoid an innings defeat and a 4-0 result.

They batted out the first session without losing a wicket, and were 103/0 at one stage on a pitch which looked as flat as any. But then, the persistence of Jadeja and the incompetence of England's batsmen combined to get the visitors bowled out for 207.

Interestingly, it was Ravichandran Ashwin who had looked the most threatening in the first session. But once Jadeja opened the gates by getting the wicket of Alastair Cook, he unleashed a flood.

Jaddu, known for being incredibly accurate and unwavering in his line and length, saw off one batter after another to earn a victory for his team that proved to be the perfect cherry on top of the series win.
