Senior Indian cricketer Ravindra Jadeja was unstoppable in the first Test versus Sri Lanka in Mohali. India, who won the Test by an innings and 222 runs, was indebted to Jadeja for his heroics with both bat and ball. The left-arm spinner of late has handed India the luxury of fielding five specialist bowlers, given his exploits with the bat in the lower middle-order. His left-arm spin complements R Ashwin superbly as the duo has spun a web when visiting teams land in India.

Team India's massive success in Tests at home should be credited to the duo for match-winning spells time and time again. Jadeja had earlier missed the tour of South Africa with an injury. He also missed the West Indies tour of India (limited-overs). Now a fit Jadeja with so much experience just walked into the side and smashed several records against the Lankans. It was one of the best all-round shows in recent Test cricket history. Here we present the massive feats Jadeja registered, besides his numbers and why he is the best in business.
