Ravindra Jadeja first IPL team: The Indian all-rounder has been among the best all-rounders in the Indian Premier League.

India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who had received the nickname of “Rockstar” from former Australia spinner Shane Warne, scoring his career-best Test score is an apt tribute to the legendary cricketer who passed away last night in Thailand.

In what is Jadeja’s second Test century, his colossal effort at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium has put India in a dominating position in the ongoing first Test against Sri Lanka.

Post Warne’s sudden and shocking demise due to a suspected heart attack, anecdotes around his role in the development of Jadeja during their stint at Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League have been all over social media platforms.

Batting at No. 4 against Mumbai Indians in Durban in 2009, Jadeja had scored his career-best IPL score of 42 (32) for Royals in a winning effort.
