In the midst of the ongoing cricketing action, the Delhi Test between India and Australia took an unexpected turn on Sunday morning, as Ravindra Jadeja spun a web of magic around the Australian batters. With his skillful left-arm spin, he led a memorable bowling performance that saw the visitors lose 9 wickets in 93 minutes.
Jadeja, who was making a comeback after a long injury layoff, was in fine form in the match, having picked up crucial wickets in the first innings as well. But it was his performance in the second innings that will be remembered for a long time. He picked up seven wickets for just 42 runs, registering his career-best figures in Test cricket.
What stood out in Jadeja’s performance was the accuracy and control that he displayed. He bowled with a tight line and length, giving the batters no room to free their arms. He also varied his pace and flight, which made it difficult for the batsmen to read his deliveries. The Australian batters, who looked comfortable in the first innings, were completely clueless against Jadeja’s spin.
Jadeja’s performance was not only significant for India in the ongoing Test match but also for his personal record. With 17 wickets in the series so far, he is the leading wicket-taker of the series, ahead of even his spin-bowling partner Ravichandran Ashwin.
Jadeja’s efforts were lauded by cricket experts, fans, and the social media world alike. Former Indian cricketer VVS Laxman tweeted, “What a brilliant performance from Ravindra Jadeja. Reminded me of his performance at Lord’s in 2014. Well done Jaddu.” Another former cricketer, Wasim Jaffer, posted a meme that read, “He is not just an all-rounder, he is everything.”
Jadeja’s performance is a testament to his hard work and dedication. The left-hander has worked tirelessly on his bowling skills over the years and has become one of the most reliable spinners in the world. With his performance in the Delhi Test, he has once again proved that he is an invaluable asset to the Indian team and a force to be reckoned with in international cricket.
Ravindra Jadeja’s spellbinding performance in the Delhi Test will go down in cricketing history as one of the most memorable bowling performances of all time. His accuracy, control, and skillful variations left the Australian batters completely bewildered, and his personal milestone of 10 wickets in the match is a testament to his abilities as a world-class spinner. As the series moves ahead, the Indian team will look to Jadeja to continue his excellent form and lead the team to further success.

In Asia he play as both proper batsman and proper bowler.
In SENA he play as proper batsman who has also picked 250 wickets with average of 24.
I have not seen more valuable test cricketer than Ravindra Jadeja. He has to be among top 5 test all rounders of all time.
GOAT ??
