Jadeja is the best in every position

Rhodes also explained the reason behind calling Jadeja the best fielder. "I consider Jadeja to be the best fielder because he can field anywhere on the field. He can also be fielded at mid-wicket, long-on or short cover. Jadeja's footwork is so fast that the batsman gets scared when the ball comes close to him. In fielding, more important than catching or throwing the ball is how fast you reach the ball. And Jadeja is the best in all this."

Ravindra Jadeja made his international debut for India in an ODI against Sri Lanka in Colombo in 2009. He has so far played a total of 72 Tests, 197 ODI and 74 T20I matches. Jadeja, a 35-year-old all-rounder, was part of the Indian team that won the T20 World Cup 2024 title. He announced his retirement from T20I cricket after the tournament.

Jadeja was not included in the recent ODI series against Sri Lanka, but he will be an important player for the Indian team in the upcoming two-match Test series against Bangladesh.
