Jadeja almost wins the game for India vs New Zealand in the 2019 Semi-Final by scoring a fighting knock of 77 of 59 balls.

What makes Jadeja a perfect all Rounder?

Jadeja can score runs with a bat low the order, can take wickets at right time, and can save a lot of runs infield and hit the stumps for run-outs.

Let's see the stats of Ravindra Jadeja over the years.

When you see this Jadeja stats has been increasing over the years. His batting has improved since 2016. Since 2016, He has scored 1396 runs at an average of 45 and taken 145 wickets at an average of 25.

As Ashwin performs well for India till 2016, he has a serious dip in batting form since 2016.

Ashwin till 2016

48 innings
1208 runs
31.68 average

Ashwin after 2016

50 innings
1185 runs
25.21 average

Since then, Jadeja has been a consistent performer for India. As Virat Kohli picks Ashwin ahead of Jadeja in most of the test matches, Jadeja gets less chance to play and he proves his worth in those matches.

Jadeja till 2016

24 innings
473 runs
21.50 average

Jadeja after 2016

47 innings
1396 runs

Jadeja deserves this. Congratulations Ravindra Jadeja. 

Recently, he has been trending on Twitter, between the banter of Jadeja vs Pandya. I think Jadeja is far better than Krunal Pandya in any aspect. "END OF DEBATE"
