How important is Ravindra Jadeja’s achievement as the longest last -last number all -rounder in Test cricket?
From his razor-Sharp left-arm spin to his acrobatic fielding and reliable lower-order batting, Jadeja has become a complete package for Team India. In terms of longevity at the top, his rise is no less than unprecedented, crossing legends such as Jacques Kalis and Kapil Dev – a true will for his endurance, skill and impact on the longest format of the game.
