Everyone loves Afridi...

The difference between Afridi and Jadeja is, one is hailed as a LEGEND, other is well known to be a gun fielder and a decent bowler and a highly inconsistent batsmen. And most importantly, we in India don't really rate Jadeja that highly unlike our padosis do with Afridi.

An Afridi like player even if debuted for India would have hardly played a handful of games.

lol Jadeja is not highly rated!! Jadeja has played 4 world cups, player 130 Odis, playing in 'Indian cricket' playing 11 out of population of 1.3 billion and you are saying he is not rated. You know legendary rated domestic players die to be given chance to play for Indian team... Dude if you are playing for a team like India, it means you are (highly highly) ^1000 rated.

So agreeing with you that Jadeja is a highly rated player as he is playing for the high profile Indian cricket team, why even bother comparing him with a player like Afridi who is a one time wonder?

cuz they are both playing same roles. However, we Indians don't miss a single chance to make fun of Afridi even though we have an inferior player playing in our team. I find this hypocritical when we make fun of Pakistanis over Afridi

we might make fun of Afridi but he is honestly ten times better player than Jadeja. Out of Jadejas 130+ innings and countless t20 innings, only ONE fifty came in a match winning course. Compare that with Afridi. He is match winner on his day. Jadeja is an inferior version of Afrdi and it's ironic we Indians make fun of Afridi when we have a poorer player in our team 

 Another gem after your "Raina is above Dhoni and Rohit in LOIs (or whatever)"

But... Jadeja can never retire and unretire and retire and unretire and retire and....

What Jadeja can't do:

- Win games on his own with either batting or bowling

But he also can't:

- Eat a cricket ball like a red cherry

- Dance on a pitch

- Despite having a mediocre record where he shows flashes of brilliance, still gets to be nominated as captain and the crowd goes Boom Boom whenever he comes to bat

- Have a terrorist cousin

- Go around shooting machine guns in his backyard

But he most definitely can:

Claim himself to be a year older after his birthday every year
