[2] In January 2019, he became the most capped player in Ranji Trophy history with appearance of his 146th match surpassing Madhya Pradesh's Devendra Bundela (145).
Following a prolific school career, including an innings of 400 not out as a 15-year-old, he made his entry into the first-class cricket and scored a triple-century in his second match.
"[11] Jaffer represented Scholes CC in the Huddersfield Drakes League for a number of seasons as their overseas player.
[12] As of the 2013 season Wasim Jaffer travelled to England where he played for Ainsdale CC in the LDCC league.
[13] On 1 January 2018, Vidarbha won Ranji Trophy and in the final against Delhi, Jaffer hit the winning boundary.
[22] An opening batsman, with the style of Mohammed Azharuddin, much was expected of Jaffer as he entered Test cricket for in a home series against South Africa in 2000.
However, the experienced bowlers Shaun Pollock and Allan Donald proved too difficult for him to cope with, and he managed just 46 runs from his four innings.
He had done enough to be included in the Indian squad for their tour of England the following summer but, despite a half century at Lord's, he struggled in his other innings and was dropped after two Tests.
[25] Jaffer scored 202 in the first innings of the second Test[26] of the 2007 series against Pakistan at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
