Jadeja has represented India in 34 Tests, 136 ODIs and 40 T20Is. The 29-year-old, who until recently was a key member of team across formats. Finds himself on the sidelines in limited-over cricket.
Indian off-spinner Ravindra Jadeja was one of the team’s better performers in the recently concluded Test series against Sri Lanka. While the all-rounder was hugely influential with the ball in all three matches. He wasn’t pleased with a fan who called him ‘Ajay’ after the conclusion of the Delhi Test.

Jadeja took to Twitter to express disappointment over the fans’ failure to recognise him and tweeted: “Someone came to me and said”well ball ajay. you bowled brilliantly in last match”.played 9 years of international cricket for country and still ppl dont remember my name. #stupidity #gavaar.”
Jadeja came out responding to the ‘sole spin bowler’ criteria for South Africa and said: “I can only control the controllable. When I get an opportunity, I will try to do well. What is not in my control, there is no point thinking about it. When I get a chance to play in South Africa, I will try to do well.
