India`s Ravindra Jadeja, considered one of the best all-rounders of this generation, turned 35 on Wednesday. Since his international debut in 2009, Jadeja has made his mark in world cricket as an invaluable asset to the Men in Blue. Be it the sight of Jadeja swinging his bat like a sword following a fifty or century, him getting crucial breakthrough wickets or pulling off stunning catches and run-outs that deserve medals of their own, there is a lot to love about Jadeja.
Since his debut, Jadeja has represented India in 67 Tests, scoring 2,804 runs at an average of 36.41. He has scored three centuries and 19 fifties in the format, with the best score of 175*.
