AROUND 1890, Karl Elsener, a Swiss inventor, had found out that his country needed a lot of tools to carry out everyday tasks.

Jadeja and his never-ending output

He designed a product capable of carrying blades, screwdrivers, corkscrew and a can opener. Over the decades, the company kept innovating. In 2025, the Swiss Army Knife retains its singular pride of place as it’s sui generis.

In 2012, when the Indian team was undergoing a period of transition in the spin-bowling department, they tried a fair few names. Over the years, one of them constantly kept upskilling, adding more weapons to an already imposing arsenal. Almost 14 years since his Test debut, Ravindra Jadeja, the ultimate multi-utility cricketer, keeps on producing the goods.

He has seen a plethora of cricketers exit stage over the last 10 months, the likes of R Ashwin, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. These three, apart from Jadeja, have mostly been responsible for making the hosts a winning machine at home before the shock 0-3 loss last year against New Zealand.
