I have been keeping stats on the treble for about 15 years. On the Port board cricket thread I have been talking about Jadeja joining this elite group since February 2021. Here is a cut paste of what I put on there a few hours ago as yesterday Jadeja become the 11th player to join the club.
I reckon it has passed with little fan fair.
Ravi Jadeja in the current test against the Bangers achieved the 3000 runs/300 wicket double in the first innings yesterday when he took his 300th wicket. Half the 1st day was lost and all of Day 2 and Day 3 with rain.
There are now 11 blokes who have done the treble. Jadeja is the 2nd fast to it in 74 tests behind Botham who did it in 72. Jadeja finished his 73rd test with 299 wickets.
February 2021 when I first posted in this (Port board) thread he will probably do the treble, when he only played the middle 2 tests of 4 in the 2020-21 Indian winning series, he was 32 years old, played 51 tests, scored 1,954 runs at 36, with 1 hundred and 15 fifties and 220 wickets at 24. At the time I said he had to make more hundreds to make sure he got to 3000 runs. I have commented about him a few more times and the treble in the last 3.5 years.
He has gone from 51 tests with 1 hundred and 15 fifties
To now in his next 23 Tests and an extra 34 innings hit 3 hundreds and 6 fifties
His bowling has been steady but less effective than in his first 53 Tests and his batting since February 2021.
Now 23 tests on only taken 83 wickets with only 4 x 5 wicket hails and a 10 wicket match hauls
His batting average of 36.39 - bowling average of 23.87 differential = 12.52 is second only to Imran Khan's
37.69 - 22.81 = 14.88. The 3rd best is Shaun Pollock with 9.20.
He and Botham are the only two of these 11 who have in at least 20% of their innings reached 50+ runs.
Jadeja 4 x 100 + 21 x 50 = 25 in 107 innings = 23.4%
Botham 14 x 100 + 22 x 50 = 36 in 161 innings = 22.4%
Imran and Kapil were 19.5% and 19.0% respectively.
India has won the test vs Bangers after I started typing this, so Jadeja's test record now is
P74 W47, L13, D14 = 63.5% winning percentage.
Which is pretty rare in test cricket for people who have played 50+ tests or even 70+ tests.
Outside the Aussies of the S Waugh / Ponting era there are only a handful of players who have played 50+ tests and had a 60% winning record. I put up some winning percentages in this post on page 351 (of Port board thread)

He also has the 2000/200 double in ODI's but probably wont get to the 3000/300 double like Akram, Pollock, Afridi, Jayasuriya and Bangladesh's Shakib Al Hasan, as he only has 220 wickets and 2756 runs and he turns 36 in December.
Its a remarkable record that will not make many headlines, but Shane Warne understood how good he was when he gave Ravi the nickname Rockstar when as a 19 year old he played for Warne's team the first year of the IPL in 2008.
The other current player in the list of 11 to have done the treble, R Ashwin's batting has dropped away the last half a dozen years. His 2000+ milestones
2000 runs 51st test 200 wickets 37th test.
300 wickets 54th tests - Hadlee got there in 61 and Warne in 63.
3000 runs 88th test
400 wickets 77th test
500 wickets 98th test
At then end of this test he has played 101 tests scored 3422 runs at average of 26.94, 6 x 100's and 14 50's and 522 wickets at an average of 23.70 37 x 5W/inn and 8 x 10w/match
P101, W61, L24, D17 = 60.4%
The only other Indian to win 60% of his tests who has played 50+ tests is medium fast bowler Umesh Yadav who debut in 2011 and still playing but hasn't played a test for over 12 months.
P57, W35, L13, D9 = 61.4%
KL Rahul is close as it gets to 60% winning record, P52, W31, L13, D8 = 59.6%

Cricket Discussion - Part 2
Remember how T29 was going to be the death of spin bowling. Anyway, hope Basil enjoyed the match. Probably kicked a few homeless people on the way home. 'We'll come after Gather Round': Test cricket crowds trigger cross-border slanging match T29 is comin' for us all m7
