If you are building a T20 cricketer from scratch, you will go for Ravindra Jadeja: Michael Vaughan

Former England skipper Michael Vaughan has lavished praises on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. Vaughan stated that Jadeja is a cricketer who is outstanding and is adept at everything.

Vaughan added that if someone wants a perfect batter, he would go for the power of Chris Gayle and the finesse of Virat Kohli, and said that if someone wants to build a complete cricketer, then he will go for Ravindra Jadeja.

“He [Ravindra Jadeja] is outstanding, he’s just got everything. If you are building a T20 cricketer, if you are building a batter, you go for Chris Gayle’s power or Virat Kohli’s finesse. But if you are looking to build a cricketer from scratch, you’ll almost start with Ravindra Jadeja because he offers you everything,” said Michael Vaughan in a chat on Cricbuzz.

Ravindra Jadeja is the perfect T20 cricketer: Michael Vaughan

Michael Vaughan also said that Jadeja is an unbelievable fielder, and is also a superb left-arm spinner as well. The 46-year-old Vaughan added that Jadeja can play the role of an anchor with the bat if his side loses early wickets, and at the same time smash the bowling from the very first ball he faces as well. Vaughan concluded by terming Jadeja as a perfect T20 cricketer.

”He is an unbelievable fielder, he can bowl brilliant left-arm spin, if there is an element of turn in the surface, he is as good as any. Obviously, with the bat, he can play the anchor role if you lose early wickets, he can also come in with 15 balls to go and pretty much go on from ball one. He is the perfect T20 cricketer,” concluded Vaughan.

Ravindra Jadeja and the Chennai Super Kings will next be seen in action on the field on 7th October 2021, when they take on the Punjab Kings (PBKS) side at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Jadeja is a veteran of IPL cricket and has played a whopping 197 IPL matches. While he has scored 2371 runs with the willow, Jadeja has also taken 124 wickets with his left-arm spin as well.
