Dubai: Impressed with Ravindra Jadeja’s consistency, former England captain Michael Vaughan has termed Jadeja the perfect T20 cricketer, who brings a lot to the table with his multidimensional abilities.
The talented all-rounder has proved himself time to time to be an asset for the Indian cricket team across all formats. Currently, he is playing the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 in the UAE for Chennai Super Kings and soon he will be seen donning the blue Indian jersey in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Jadeja has been terrific for CSK with both bat and the ball. So far he has notched up 212 runs and picked up ten wickets in 13 matches for CSK so far in IPL 2021.
“He is an unbelievable fielder, he can bowl brilliant left-arm spin, if there is an element of turn in the surface, he is as good as any. Obviously, with the bat, he can play the anchor role if you lose early wickets, he can also come in with 15 balls to go and pretty much go on from ball 01. He is the perfect T20 cricketer,” Vaughan was quoted as saying to Cricbuzz.
Lauding Jadeja for his all-round skills, the 46 year old added that if someone wants a perfect batter, he would go for the power of Chris Gayle and the finesse of Virat Kohli and said that if someone wants to build a complete cricketer, then he will go for Ravindra Jadeja.
“He is outstanding, he’s just got everything. If you are building a T20 cricketer, if you are building a batter, you go for Chris Gayle’s power or Virat Kohli’s finesse. But if you are looking to build a cricketer from scratch, you’ll almost start with Ravindra Jadeja because he offers you everything,” said Vaughan.
Jadeja and the Chennai Super Kings will next be seen in action on 7th October, when they take on the Punjab Kings (PBKS) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
