Can Jadeja finish his career with a 40+ batting average and a <25 bowling average?


Recommended Posts

Sir Jadeja currently has 2.5k runs at an average of 37 and 242 wickets at 25. Can he finish his career with 3k+runs @ 40+ and 300+wickets at 25 or below average? He’ll further cement his claim to being a genuine ATG all rounder in test cricket and will certainly be the first name on any ATG xi team sheet be it world xi or India xi

Almost all players decline in their final 2-3 years, and Indian players are notorious for stretching careers well beyond retirement age. So NO is the answer. Still a great test player in my eyes. He will never be the first name in world XI, neither in Indian AT XI. Not even close in the former case.

not gonna happen. bowling avg will rise and batting avg will decline. may finish with stats not far removed from kapil (in terms of avgs)

For perspective, Stokes averages 36 and 32 and Shakib 38/31. Everyone else currently is worse.

 

So he's doing fine.

yes, but his bowling is clearly on a downward trend due to fitness issues.

in India he's still a good option. Batting has gone up.

he is a batting AR now. more like sundar.

and that is helping us with our top 4.

 

Sundar can even play in top 5. Jaddu though is still better Test bowler imo.

By the look of it the injury he suffered is very bad injury. So we have to wait and see whether it impacts his game anyway.  

 

what injury he suffered? I thought its ongoing knee issue he has

No he did some stupid underwater adventure where he twisted his knee badly. BCCI was furious

“He had to balance himself on some kind of a ski-board as part of an adventure activity – not part of the training manual at all. It was absolutely unnecessary. He slipped and twisted his knee badly, which led to a surgery,”

Doesn't mention underwater activity.

 

Searched more and this says it was part of BCCI's training activity only :confused:

 

No it is adventure sports activity.

Rather encourage match winning performances rather that these type of stats.Had he been able to finish that sf vs NZ ,it would have been legendary.

Jaddu has been notorious with these moments...  Asia cup game vs Afg the tied match..  An ODI in NZ in 2014...  WC SF.. Almost choking in Asia Cup game1 vs Pak after all the hardwork.   I don't recall but in IPL thread someone posted a list of his near misses in IPl too. 

Probably one big match winning performance at biggest stage will seal the deal.  Pandya has more of them since 2016 his debut...

might be fun activity done by TM. I doubt he did it only by himself

They have clarified that too which is why they are upset as it forced him to miss the world T20. It completely screwed up our balance.
