The spinner Ravindra Jadeja, who is remembered for his gritty innings in the World Cup final last year, got the opportunity in the team India under the captaincy of MS Dhoni in 2009. He is now the main allrounder for the Virat Kohli led side. 

Although he has some disastrous tours at the initial stages of his career, however, the captain never lost his trust in him. He shone in India’s Champions Trophy title glory, gaining the Golden Ball for his terrific bowling performances in the tournament. 

He was out from the white-ball format for a while but marked his comeback with strong bowling skills. Tagged as Sir before his name, he can hit a spot with relentless accuracy which makes him different from other spinners in the team. 

So far, Ravindra Jadeja scored 1869 runs in 49 Tests at an average of 35.26 and has also picked 213 wickets at the same time. In 165 ODIs, he has scored 2296 runs at an average of 31.89 and also took 187 wickets. The Saurashtra player has also played 49 T20 matches.
