Ravindra Jadeja is one of those cricketers impossible to miss on any cricket field. He is the kind of player who makes things happen, but he does so with so little fuss or fanfare that he often gets lost amongst the glamour boys. It’s no surprise that he had to take a five-wicket haul to get the outside world to sit up and take notice of his significance to this Indian team, though within the contours of the team set-up, he is rated very highly.
Crucial for knockout stage
With Hardik Pandya no longer available to fulfil his all-round duties, the 34-year-old Jadeja’s role will be even more magnified as the World Cup enters its climactic phase. On the evidence of the fare he has dished out to date, Jadeja is more than capable of rising to any challenge.
