Ravindra Jadeja – Biography, Networth(2023), Age, Impressive Stats, Records And Wife

INTRODUCTION

Initially underestimated when he made his debut, Ravindra Jadeja silenced his critics and skeptics with his impressive performances, solidifying his position among the top echelons of Indian spin bowling.

In October 2019, he achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the fastest left-arm bowler to claim 200 Test wickets. Six years prior to that, he joined the ranks of Anil Kumble in 1993 as the first Indian to top the ICC ODI bowling rankings. His exceptional skills also attracted a jaw-dropping bid of US$2 million in the IPL in 2012.

Despite competing in an era where the artistry of fellow spinner R Ashwin often took the limelight, Jadeja consistently pushed his senior colleague and frequently earned his place when India played with only one spinner. He offered an added advantage as a captain’s dream: known for his remarkable speed on the field and hailed as the finest fielder of his time. In addition to his prowess as a bowler and fielder, he emerged as a valuable lower-order batsman for the team.
