Ravindrasinh Anirudhsinh Jadeja, commonly known as Ravindra Jadeja is one of India's highest-paid cricketers. Considered as one of his generation's best all-rounders, Jadeja is the fifth Indian and fifth fastest player in the world of cricket to score 2,000 runs and take 200 wickets in Tests. Over the years, we have seen many cricket pundits calling him the best Indian all-rounder of all time. Economic bowling, wicket-taking ability in tense phases, aggressive batting skills and outstanding fielding are some of the prime reasons why Jadeja has been referred to as 'Mr Dependable' by Indian cricket fans for some time now.
There have been a lot of instances in the past when Ravindra Jadeja proved the mettle of his skills with both bat and ball. From hitting 86 runs in 156 balls against India's final Test match against England in 2018 at The Oval to being named the Man of the Match in the 2013 Champions Trophy final against England and his 10-wicket haul against Australia in the 2023 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Ravindra has proved himself time and again.

On one side, while Ravindra Jadeja has played a significant role in the Indian cricket team, he continues contributing heavily to his IPL (Indian Premier League) team, Chennai Super Kings. In the final of the 2023 IPL, Jadeja was on strike as CSK needed 10 runs in 2 balls against GT (Gujarat Titans). While in the second last ball, Jadeja hit a superb six and guided the last ball to fine leg for a four. The all-rounder kept his composure and handed CSK its fifth IPL title.
