If all-rounders is considered then Jadeja is the first name that comes into the picture. And rightly so he continues he to be ICC World Number 1 all-rounder in Tests. And ahead of the India vs Bangladesh Test series, a lot will rest on Jadeja’s shoulders.

With India’s pace department being depleted, the onus will be on Jadeja. Not only with the ball, but Jadeja will have to take control with the bat as well. With Tests happening on home soil, the spinners will get much assistance. And this is where a player of Jadeja’s calibre thrives.

In slow and turning pitches, Jadeja brings out the best in him to deal a hefty blow to the opposition. And finally, Jadeja is a ace batter when facing spinners. As has been evident over the years, Jadeja has the knack of hitting big shots and playing recovery innings if the top order falters.

Therefore, Jadeja getting an extended period of break will be good news for the player. This will help Jadeja being fresh and fit as India prepare for the upcoming two match Test series against Bangladesh.
