People often talk about his bowling, but his batting has improved so much! Remember when he used to be a tailender? Now he's our crisis man in Tests. That 89 at Edgbaston was pure class under pressure 👏

While Jadeja's achievements are impressive, I feel we sometimes overlook his inconsistency in ODIs. His Test numbers are world class, but his white-ball batting needs more consistency to be considered among the all-time great all-rounders.

The real test will be if he can perform at Lord's! That ground has seen so many legends. Fingers crossed for our Rajput boy 🤞 And those sword celebrations if he gets a century there would be epic!

His stats in England are actually better than many specialist batsmen! 37 average is no joke in those conditions. And to think he does this while being our main spinner... man's a machine!
