Ravindra Jadeja is regarded as one of the greatest all-round players in contemporary cricket. He is an expert in fielding in addition to his bat and ball talents. The 36-year-old has never missed a catch and it is quite uncommon to see the ball pass him.
When GT coach Ashish Nehra was asked by Star Sports to name his favorite fielder in cricket history, the former India international immediately said, “Ravindra Jadeja.” Surprised, the interviewer further asked him, “Then and now?” “I have seen a lot of big fielders, some are good in the outfield, some inside, like Jonty Rhodes, he is the best inside the circle. If you speak about all-round fielding, AB de Villiers’ name comes in, but even Andrew Symonds and Jadeja.
but I would put Jadeja ahead of them. It's not because of his age. When he came in 2008-09 and now, he is still the same.
It is his fitness, I don't know what he eats. If he is eating something different, he should tell us”, Nehra explained. In 2021, Jadeja became the fifth Indian and fifth fastest player to reach 2000 runs and take 200 wickets in Test cricket.
He finished as India's top wicket-taker and was a member of the team that won the 2013 Champions Trophy. The team that won the 2025 Champions Trophy and the 2024 T20 World Cup included him as well.
