Ravindra Jadeja doesn’t appear like a man with a rapacious desire for success. His batting is neat, bowling compact and he glides around the field like a joyous, self-content child on a brand-new skateboard. There is some flamboyance, but mostly in sword celebrations to mark milestones.
Yet, for all the simplicity and minimalism, there is an innate capacity to be smart. He may not be a better bowler than R. Ashwin, with whom he is perceived to be in competition. He may never bat better than any of those above him.
