Apart from his bowling and batting, Jadeja also contributes significantly in the fielding department for any team he plays for. The southpaw’s presence in the middle both saves runs and affects dismissals for Chennai.

In IPL 2019, Jadeja picked 15 wickets in 16 matches at an average of 22.86, an economy rate of 6.35 and a strike rate of 21.60. In 170 matches overall in the tournament, Jadeja has dismissed 108 batsmen at an average of 29.18, an economy rate of 7.57 and a strike rate of 7.10.

As far as batting down the order in the IPL is concerned, Jadeja has scored 1,927 runs at an average of 24.08 and a strike rate of 122.58. Other than Super Kings, Jadeja has also played for Rajasthan Royals, Kochi Tuskers Kerala and Gujarat Lions in the tournament.
