Kochi Tuskers Kerala's first-ever playing XI in the IPL. Where are they now?

5. Ravindra Jadeja

It would not be wrong to say that Ravindra Jadeja is a match-winner. Till the time he is at the crease with the bat or ball, anything is possible. Therefore a team is not the same without the services of Jadeja. Rising to become one of India’s prime players, the all-rounder has proven to be exceptional in all three departments.

The allrounder played the role of a finisher in Kochi’s first match in their home ground. While he started slow, he changed gears slamming Zaheer Khan’s delivery to the stands. A couple of boundaries in the 19th and 20th over, took Kochi to a competitive total of 161 while he ended up being unbeaten on 23 off 16.

Ravindra Jadeja’s services were acquired by the Chennai Super Kings for whom he plays to date. He also went on the become their first retention for 16 crores. He is vital across all formats for the Indian cricket team. He is in the top 10 ICC ranked all-rounders in the Test and ODI format.
