Ravindra Jadeja Batting

Ravindra Jadeja came up with a better performance in the 5th ODI against Australia but could not save the Indian team from a series defeat against the Australians.

Ravindra Jadeja played a fighting knock eventually getting caught on 57 of a 103 balls. He came in when the Indian team was in real trouble at 24/4. Jadeja also bowled an economical spell. He bowled 10 over for 36 runs.

Although, the young cricket showed some maturity in these innings he failed to avoid the India defeat. Anyways, a good game for the young lad. Lets hope he becomes the all rounder that India has been looking for since a long time.

May its we are a big harsh on the yound lad but I really wanted India to win the game and Ravindra got out when India needed it the most.Ravindra has had a poor day with the ball and was the worst amongst all the bowlers.

A dissapointing finish to a great match, but like last time I hope the likes of Jadega gain some valuable experience for it and take India cricket forward.

Ravindra Jadeja again messes up the golden chance to show some responsibility and take India through in the 4th ODI against Australia in Mohali. Although he playes his part with the ball while batting he was too slow and then eventually got himself run out. Jadeja hit the ball to covers and took off for a non existent single. Ponting had no problems in getting him run out.

Jadeja, who earlier in the match has got Ponting run out with an excellent bit of fielding fell pray to the same guy in his innings.

It very dissapointing to see a player with so much talent mess it up on so many opportunity he gets. Well lets hope that Ravindra has learnt something from him mistake this time and will give us a better show with the bat next time.

Still wishing Ravindra Jadeja all the best for the future matches.

Ravindra Jadeja who made his way back into the Indian team gets his first ODI wicket after 4 games. Jadeja trapped Ricky Ponting right plumb in front of the wickets. The ball pitched in good lenght on the middle and leg line, and turned just enough past the defensive push of Ricky Ponting to trap him on the back pad in front of the middle stump. Pointing, who played an excellent knock, wasn’t happy with the decission, it was a right decission by the empire.

Ravindra Jadeja was amongst the pick of the Indian bowlers, being the most economical amongst them all.

Ravindra Jadeja is back in the Indian ODI team for the 2 matches against Australia. This is an excellent opportunity for the young all rounder who missed his place in the team. Jadeja would be looking to perform well in the coming series and cement his place in the India ODI team. The all rounded has put behind the tough days behind him and is hoping to make a strong impact in the upcoming matches.

If given an opportunity to play, Ravindra Jadeja would be looking to put up a good show both with the bat and the ball and impress the selectors. Lets wish Ravindra Jadeja all the best for the upcoming series.

One of the major reasons of this could be Ravindra Jadeja’s controversial performance in the 20-20 world cup.

A humble and quiet person, Ravindra Jadeja loves listening to music in his spare time. Had he not been a cricket, he would have preferred to become a musician.

When selected for the Indian Cricket team, Ravindra Jadeja was thrilled. His mother had always dream of him playing for the country and he expressed his joy when he came close to fulfilling this dream.

“Yes, I lost my mother in July 2005. She wanted to see me in Indian colors. Losing her was the saddest moment of my life. I should say I am just a step away from fulfilling her dreams. I will surely fulfill her dream by wearing India colors during the Sri Lanka tour,” said Ravindra Jadeja, when he was selected for international cricket.

Controversies: In 20-20 world cup 2009 when Dhoni sent Ravindra Jadeja on 4^th-position in first match of super-eight league where he couldn’t withstand the pressure and failed to score in the depth overs, facing too many dot balls when the required rate was climbing up and hence India lost the match. After that match, many questions were raised by people on Dhoni’s decision of selecting Ravindra Jadeja at two down.
