10 Shortest Cricketers of All Time
5 of the 10 shortest cricketers are from India and a couple of them went on to become legends defying their height issues.
9. Kedar Jadhav, India – 5.41 ft
Kedar Jadhav is one of the players who booked his ticket to the 2019 World Cup because of his multi-dimensional skills. The cricketer from Maharashtra made his debut in 2014 and since then he has been a regular in the ODI side. He is a batsman who can play big shots right from the word go and his strike rate of 103 in the 50 over cricket proves it.
Along with his batting, Jadhav has also developed himself into a useful bowling option. Till now he has played 59 ODIs in which he has scored over 1100 runs at an average of 43 and has fished 27 scalps with the ball in his hand. The right-hander is known for playing innovative shots. Even his bowling action is a unique one where he uses his short height of 5.41 ft smartly.
However, his place in the team is now under threat after a rather mediocre ODI series in New Zealand where India was whitewashed recently.
