Ravindra Jadeja has started dominating the batsmen with his style : Laxman

Former India batsman VVS Laxman has said that Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has improved a lot in his style of hitting the batsmen and he is now dominating the batsmen a lot more than before.

Laxman, while talking about the World Test Championship (WTC) final on Star Sports’ program ‘Cricket Connected’, said Ravindra Jadeja is a complete package for him and Ravichandran Ashwin is his first choice in terms of spinners. The way he bowled in Australia, he put pressure on Steven Smith, the best batsman in the opposition line-up, and got him out consistently and that was one of the reasons why India won that Test series. It shows that Ashwin is very talented, very skilled and now he has got the confidence to perform in overseas conditions so he will be my first choice spinner. You also cannot forget Ravindra Jadeja. He is not only a spinner who can bowl in useful conditions, but in the last two years he has improved a lot with his style, flight bowling and changes in pace to beat the batsman, so I think he is a good fit for me. There are complete packages.

The former Indian batsman said, according to me, the most important decision in the WTC final will be who will open with Rohit Sharma, because we have two contenders. Both of them are very talented batsmen, who got the experience of playing in England despite not playing international cricket. Both these players had played for India A in a series two years back. I think it is the most important decision as there is a lot of depth and experience in the fast bowling department.

Explaining the reason for supporting Ishant Sharma, Laxman said, the way Mohammad Siraj performed in the home Test series against Australia and England, he has to be commended, but I think the way Ishant Sharma has done the Indian We cannot underestimate what has contributed to the success and progress of the team, so I would definitely go with experience. It is a single Test match and it is the final of the World Test Championship. I will support Ishant Sharma because over the years he has contributed a lot to the Indian team and we have seen that he is really the leader of the group. I also understand that Jasprit Bumrah has emerged as a deadly bowler along with Mohammed Shami, but I will support Ishant Sharma in this important final.
