There are plenty of successful all-rounder cricket players in Indian history, but Ravindra Jadeja takes a special place.

It’s a great pleasure to write about one of the most prominent Indian bowlers who is still playing for the national team.

The unexpected death of Lata in 2005, Jadeja’s mother, almost ended the career of the young Jadeja. However, he was able to recover and made an international youth debut in the U-19 squad in just a year. Although Indian youngsters finished one step ahead of the gold in Sri Lanka, two years after in Malaysia, Jaddu was an important player in the squad and victory was taken under young captain Kohli.
