Ravindra Jadeja is without a doubt one of India's most hardworking cricketers. He has evolved from being the butt of jokes to the man who can do no wrong. A great bowler, good batsman and brilliant fielder, Jadeja is the total package every side wants in the side.?

He once again showed that in the semifinal of the World Cup vs New Zealand. 2 catches, 1 wicket and a direct hit run out showed how useful he was on the field. But his biggest test came when he walked in at 92/6, with India needing 148 more runs to win. He almost took us over the line as his brilliant 77 got us to 208 before we lost him and then MS Dhoni 9 runs later. Eventually we were still 19 runs short of the target when the innings folded. But it was Jadeja that gave us a fighting chance.

No doubt he too his hurting after the loss to New Zealand, and now knows this is the time to pick himself up. Good on you Jadeja! May more success follow you and we hope to see you at the next World Cup.
