‘Dhoni bhai ne isko perfect All-rounder banaaya’ – Fans react as Ravindra Jadeja ends 2023 with unique record with bat and ball

Ravindra Jadeja ends 2023 with unique record with the bat and the ball. The star All-rounder has ended the year as the only player to score more than 400 runs with the bat and claim more than 40 wickets with the ball. No player has been able to achieve the feat as far as international cricket is concerned, which is indeed a great feat from the Indian All-rounder.

Jadeja has had a dream year in Tests and ODIs both as a batter and as a bowler. In Test, Jadeja played 7 matches and scored 281 runs as a batter in 9 innings. In as many appearances, Jadeja scored 2 fifties as a batter. with the ball, Jadeja was even batter and claimed wickets for fun. In 7 matches, Jadeja claimed 33 wickets at a bowling average of just 19.39.

The left-arm spinner was a good wicket taker in the year. He claimed wickets at a bowling SR of 48.58 and was highly miserly. The star bowler operated at an economy rate of just 2.40 in the year, which is simply phenomenal. In T20Is, Jadeja played just 2 games and scored 23 runs. With the ball, Jadeja claimed 2 wickets and ended the year on a good note.

Great ODI year for Ravindra Jadeja

In ODIs, he was very good too. Not many would have anticipated him to be as good in the year in the format given his failures in the past. But in the year when it mattered, Jadeja stood up for the team and had a very good year. In 26 matches in ODIs, Jadeja scored 309 runs with the bat. he scored them at an average of 30.90, at a strike rate of 75.00 with some good knocks under his belt.

With the ball, Jadeja was brilliant as he claimed 31 wickets in 26 innings at a bowling average of 28.19, at a bowling SR of 36.74, at a very good economy of 4.60. There were not many instances where he was taken out by the batters. Although his batting blossomed only during the ODI WC 2023, he was there for the team when it mattered. He had a great year without a doubt.
