Think of someone who can change the fortunes of the game upside down with both the bat and ball and one wouldn’t miss the name of Ravindra Jadeja. His presence not only gives the team a strong spinner option but also allows them to have enough depth and belief in their batting lineup. Apart from these, he is an outstanding fielder who saves crucial runs for the team which becomes very important in the shortest format of the game.

If the team finds itself in a spot of bother, Jadeja is capable of fetching in important runs for the side in the death overs. He can also chime in with important breakthroughs to put the team in a commanding position. In recent years, he has shown immense promise with the willow and can prove pivotal down the order.

In the ongoing IPL as well, the all-rounder has been in splendid form. He has scored quick runs for CSK at a strike rate of 152.51. Jadeja has smashed 212 runs in the tournament so far and has also clinched 10 wickets.
