Jadeja is arguably one of the best all-rounders in the world: Wasim Jaffer

Former Indian batter Wasim Jaffer recently proclaimed that Ravindra Jadeja is among the best all-rounders in world cricket at the moment. He feels that the balance Jadeja provides at the No. 7 position would give the team management a great deal of confidence while touring overseas.

Speaking on ESPNCricinfo after the first Test against Sri Lanka, Wasim Jaffer said:

"Jadeja is arguably one of the best all-rounders in the world. Jadeja is unstoppable, especially in Indian conditions. Even overseas, he can perform at No. 7 the way his batting has improved and Team India will show confidence in him. This will give them the option to play two spinners and make them even more dangerous. Jadeja has definitely performed like a player with a Grade A+ contract."

The 33-year old will be back in action when Team India take on Sri Lanka in the second Test in Bengaluru, which commences on March 12.
