'All-rounder' Ravindra Jadeja

In this Test match, Indian batsman Ravindra Jadeja smashed 175 runs in the first innings and set a smashing record. Apart from that, Jadeja took a total of 9 wickets in two innings and rocked not only the batting bar but bowling as well and bagged the Man of the Match award.

Ravindra Jadeja, who has been hailed as the best all-rounder in all three formats, has been praised by many. Former Indian captain Gautam Gambhir has made a bold remark on Jadeja's batting.

Overseas Stadiums

“I feel the innings Ravindra Jadeja played in Australia or the knocks he has played outside India, he will get more confidence from that. Stats can be very misleading,” Gambhir.

“There was a time after the century where he was just milking - Dhananjaya de Silva, (Charith) Asalanka and (Lasith) Embuldeniya were bowling but if you talk about Australia or England, the 40 or 50-run contributions there are probably much more important than this innings,” he said.

Opportunity

“These 175 runs are the by-product of how Ravindra Jadeja has batted in overseas conditions. You only see the end result but the lead up to these 175 runs, there has been a lot of effort put in that, he scored runs in very difficult circumstances and conditions and that is why he got a chance at No. 6 or No. 7," he said.

“If he had probably not scored runs in those conditions, the team management might have had the temptation to play someone else, probably Ashwin at No. 7. When you come after scoring runs in such difficult conditions, you get opportunities to improve your stats or your Test record,” said Gambhir.
