I will be elated if he retires from ODI and t20 cricket and stick to tests. 

 

Especially in T20 we basically rely on him playing outside his capacity. He is no Yusuf Pathan where 10 out of 10 yusuf]s innings will be aggressive. It will be more like 1 or 2 out of 10. He is not a naturally aggressive batsman.

Test cricket is his best format.

I hope this is not true , will be a big loss.

Still young though,and vital overseas. At home we have Akshar

Do you really think anyone other than some superstars will miss playing Tests lol I don't think so. If giving up test cricket give them 2 more years of IPL they will gladly take it. JUst play an outrageous innings right before auction. Bingo. I expect others doing the same at some point. Dhoni is the prime example. All these guys will play IPL for 2 or 3 years after their retirement.

Was hoping he plays 100 Tests lol,not possible now

Jadeja is already IPL star. He doesnt need to sacrifice Tests for IPL.

"like for like"?

 

The man averages 40+ with bat in hand in test cricket over last few years - home and away.  And is a frontline bowler.  

 

Nobody has a "like for like" for him available.  

 

 

Yes he has improved his batting a lot, but Axar has the same skillset in batting. Maybe not be as good as Jadeja immediately, but will surely be as good as him eventually in 2-3 years.

Axar has never been in jadeja's class as a batsman.  This is utter nonsense.

true, there's a reason Jaddu made all those triples and big runs in domestics. Even if most of them were on roads, one must have the temperament of a proper batsman to make big 100s, especially triples. he took a while to realise his batting potential, but we finally got to see it in the past few yrs.
