Ravindra Jadeja scored 36 runs in an over

In April, Jadeja smashed 36 runs against Harshal Patel in an over of the IPL match between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore, the all-rounders pummelled five sixes and a four in a power-hitting spree. In that match, he became the first CSK player to score a fifty and pick three wickets.

In contrast, Kapil Dev claimed 687 wickets from 356 matches and scored 9031 runs. The 1983 World Cup-winning captain has also hit nine centuries and registered a total of 24 five-wicket hauls.
