<p>Ravindra Jadeja is one of the most revered Indian cricketers and he has earned the respect of cricket enthusiasts with his three-dimensional qualities. He is a capable finisher, an accurate bowler, and one of the greatest fielders of all time. In his 14 years in international cricket, Jadeja has established himself as one of the finest all-rounders Indian cricket has ever seen.</p>
<h3>Early Career:</h3>
<p>Ravindra Jadeja came from a very humble background. His mother and sisters encouraged him to stay outside and play cricket so that he didn’t have to see the tumultuous conditions at home. Jadeja was bullied by elder kids during his childhood days.</p>
<p>However, Mahendrasinh Chauhan, who was a policeman by profession and a part-time cricketer, came as an angel into Jadeja’s life when he was 10 years old. Chauhan gave the youngster opportunities to bat and also taught him the art of spin bowling. It is interesting to note that Jadeja initially wanted to become a pacer.</p>
<p>Jadeja made his Under-19 debut for India in 2005 and went on to play first-class cricket for the first time in 2006 in the <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/duleep-trophy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Duleep Trophy</a></strong> for West Zone.<br>Jadeja took time to find his feet in international cricket. He was one of the first cricketers to experience trolls from social media due to his lack of performance on the international scene.</p>
<p>However, the all-rounder managed to learn from his experiences and molded himself into a reliable all-format player for the ‘Men in Blue’. His exploits in the <strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20/ipl-indian-premier-league" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Indian Premier League (IPL)</a></strong> are also very impressive. He has truly justified the “Rockstar” nickname that he received from the late Shane Warne.</p>
<h3>International Debut:</h3>
<p>After impressive performances in the IPL and Jadeja was picked in India’s ODI and T20I squads for their tour to Sri Lanka in 2009. Jadeja’s maiden India cap was presented ahead of the fifth ODI on February 8.</p>
<p>With the ball, Jadeja failed to impress as he conceded 40 runs in six overs without picking up a wicket. However, with the bat, Jadeja showed glimpses of his talent as he remained unbeaten on 60 off 77 balls against a formidable bowling attack.</p>
<p>Jadeja took time to find his feet in international cricket but never shied away from taking lessons during his international journey and that trait of his helped him in becoming one of the leading all-rounders in world cricket that he is now.</p>
<p>Jadeja during his initial Indian Premier League days played under the watch of the Late Shane Warne at Rajasthan Royals. Warne’s guidance helped Jadeja to learn quicker and become a better player.</p>

<h3>Four-time IPL Winner</h3>
