Ravindra Jadeja - Second fastest to get 300 wickets and 3000 runs in Test cricket

[Darkrai]

So your logic is Root grew up in swinging pitches.. so we should not take his runs seriously on those pitches because he averages 35 in Aus on pacy wickets.

Where did i say we shouldn't take Jadeja's runs seriously?

 

[Ab Fan]

A good player but time for him to retire now. He should retire on a high note in his career.

Took 10 wickets in the match.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Am surprised to see guys like Warne and Broad having made 3000 test runs....
did'nt think they would have made as much....

 

[Saurav]

Because he probably plays spin better than most SENA players since he grew up on those pitches?

That goes for every player then.

and he has good stats in Aus too and a ton in England

 

[Mamoon]

Nah not really, you can't teach lack of intelligence... Afridi had no brain, so he wouldn't have achieved anything meaningful or given as much chances like he got in Pakistan, he wouldve been dropped after a few test matches in India for good.

Talent only gets you so far...

Jadeja is no Elon Musk either. He is a huge beneficiary of Indian pitches. There is no difference between him and players like Washington & Axar. Same goes for Santner.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

I really rate Riggedeja. Yeah he has benefited from rigged pitches but he still contributes a decent amount across all formats and in all facets.

Most teams would kill to have him and he may be better than Pitchwin from an Indian perspective.

 

[RidiculousMan]

He can only win you matches when oppositions don't have good spinners. When they have the likes of Ajaz Patel then even Jadeja's wickets can't get you wins. lol

Nah

Jadeja avgs much better than Afridi in Aus..

 

[FearlessRoar]

His all-round skills and experience will be vital for India's success in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy

After the end of Day 2 of 3rd Test between Australia and India, in the post-match presentation, Travis Head:

“He [Ravindra Jadeja] bowled brilliantly, bowled wicket-taking balls, and was always tough facing up against him. I always enjoyed batting with Steve (Smith); when he bats well, I always go unnoticed. I thought he was moving (his feet) very well; it allowed me to be proactive as well. I just enjoy what I do; I just want to play well for the team, for the guys on the team, and I'm enjoying it.”

“I have played enough against India; I've had a blueprint, and I was a bit nervous to start against spin; I was happy with the way I started against him today (on Ravindra Jadeja). The new ball will do something throughout the game; I can't see too far ahead of the game, but hopefully the weather plays up nicely, but the new ball will be crucial. The top 6 (batting) is setting up nicely, hopeful of doing well in Sri Lanka and getting into the WTC final. Very pleased for Smudge, he has had a lot against him, and it's nice to see him get back to his best form.”

 

[Mamoon]

One of the greatest useless player in history. He is bang average in every aspect except fielding, but his numbers indicate that he is an all-time great.

Thankfully we saw both Ashwin and Jadeja and how ordinary they are actually were.

No one can compete with India when it comes to making mediocre cricketers like Dhoni, Laxman, Ashwin, Jadeja etc. look like legends.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Ravindra Jadeja slams a half-century in 82 balls—an all-important fifty on Day 4 of the 3rd Test against Australia when Team India was struggling.

 

[Ab Fan]

Not as bang or mediocre as highlighted above. One of his another useful knocks with bat in Australia.

 

[Buffet]

An important knock in middle of series when India was totally out of the game. If he can bat for some more time, the match will be likely a draw.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Welcome back Sir Ravendra Jadeja.

Strength and honour

 

[big_gamer007]

Jadeja is a good cricketer and has played his part well.
He isn’t an ATG neither is a top tier all rounder. He made the best use of the conditions and his skillset which is commendable to him and the board.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

The greatest allrounder of this generation.

Since 2020 Jadeja has averaged 41 away from home with the bat and 31 with the ball.

In home conditions, he is easily the greatest player of this generation.

Just look at his home numbers :

Bowling averages 20.7, batting average 38, so basically he also negates the strawman argument about his numbers in home, if the pitches are so deadly in India then how does he average 38 with the bat here.

Top 5 greatest test cricketer of the last 10 years, Superstar and the number one allrounder in the world.

In this match alone he has achieved what some legends from a certain country couldn't do in last 30 years.

Another important stat - Jadeja averages 35 with the bat away from home with one century, On the other hand a certain specialist batter from Aus averages 29 away with 0 centuries.

In Bharat, he’s a huge asset.

However abroad he is basically a mediocre batter and a mediocre bowler and on the basis of that no player can be called a great. No wonder he wasn’t able to break into playing XI on many occasions.

A mediocre batter doesn’t average 41 since the turn of decade, he is the best allrounder of this generation, you can check Ben Stokes stats away from home, Jadeja has better number both home and away.

Ravindra Jadeja slams a half-century in 82 balls—an all-important fifty on Day 4 of the 3rd Test against Australia when Team India was struggling.

Ravindra Jadeja demonstrated his batting grit with a resolute 77(123) on Day 4 of the third Test against Australia

Although he fell short of a century and couldn't fully prevent the follow-on, he managed to break a 56-year-old record. Jadeja now holds the record for the highest score by a No. 7 batter for India at The Gabba, Brisbane. The previous record belonged to Chandu Borde, who scored 63 runs while building a vital partnership with centurion Motganhalli Jaisimha during an unsuccessful run chase.

I am a fan of his. Gives his 100% every time and one of the most improved cricketers ever.

But there’s a reason why he’s a not feared as much outside Bharat and barely makes it to the playing XI abroad. His numbers abroad are average and not that of a match winner.

Bat avg 35-40, Bowling average 30 isn’t going to win many matches.

 

[Ab Fan]

He is a better batter than most Indian batsmen abroad. That’s good enough. Using words like mediocre, useless, bang average and ordinary only suggest hatred and jealousy.

 

[FearlessRoar]

During a discussion on a local sports media outlet, Sanjay Manjrekar said:

"He played the fast bowlers a lot and played them very well. He didn't make even a slight mistake against the fast bowlers. However, once Nathan Lyon came, he was expecting off-spin, that the ball would turn. His bat came for the off-spin and the ball was not turning at all. So he played with that mindset."

"It seems like Jadeja needs to practice a little more against spin because he is looking absolutely comfortable against seam. He used to play very well against spin earlier but it happens that when you play overseas, you start playing fast bowling well and your focus is slightly removed from spin. If only fast bowlers had been there, Jadeja would have played a big knock."

 

[JaDed]

@mominsaigol you would had done better than him in Aus too right?

 

[Champ_Pal]

He is a better batter than most Indian batsmen abroad. That’s good enough. Using words like mediocre, useless, bang average and ordinary only suggest hatred and jealousy.

He is 100% better than the likes of Kohli and Rohit. Then again, it does not take much to be better than both of those oldies.

 

[BouncerGuy]

What a pathetic review.
