Ravindra Jadeja was India’s highest-wicket and also effected the run-out of Steve Smith, with the visitors bundling out Australia for 338 runs in the first innings of the third Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
During a discussion on the Sony Sports network, Zaheer Khan and Ajay Jadeja shared their thoughts on Ravindra Jadeja being an invaluable asset for the Indian team.
Zaheer Khan replied in the affirmative when asked if Ravindra Jadeja’s dismissal of Marnus Labuschagne was the most important Australian wicket, as it broke a big partnership. He added that the allrounder is always in the thick of action in the longest format of the game, saying in this regard:
Zaheer Khan was particularly appreciative of the agility Ravindra Jadeja showed on the field to effect Steve Smith’s run out.
The former left-arm pacer signed off by highlighting that Ravindra Jadeja loves to make impactful performances in any situation while adding that Ajinkya Rahane could have bowled him a little more on the first day.
Ravindra Jadeja bowled only three of the 55 overs bowled by India on a rain-curtailed first day of the Sydney Test.
“You will have to consider Ravindra Jadeja a complete all-rounder” - Ajay Jadeja
Former India captain Ajay Jadeja pointed out that Ravindra Jadeja has been playing the role of a genuine allrounder, as he has improved his batting by leaps and bounds. Jadeja added that the allrounder was good enough to make the Indian team as a pure bowler.
Ajay Jadeja signed off by saying that Ravindra Jadeja, together with Rishabh Pant and Ravichandran Ashwin provide the all-round depth to the Indian team.
Ravindra Jadeja was India’s star performer both with the ball and in the field on the second day of the ongoing Test against Australia.
The Saurashtra all-rounder accounted for four Australian wickets, including the prized one of Labuschagne, and brought their innings to a close with an exceptional run-out of Smith.
