Ravindrasinh Anirudhsinh Jadeja, commonly known as Ravindra Jadeja, is an Indian

international cricketer who is the number-one ranked Test bowler in the ICC Player Rankings. He

is an all-rounder, who plays as a left-handed middle-order batsman and slow left-arm

orthodox bowler. He represents Saurashtra in first-class cricket and the Gujarat Lions in

the Indian Premier League.

Jadeja was part of the Indian U-19 cricket team that won the World Cup in Malaysia in 2008. He

made his ODI debut against Sri Lanka on 8 February 2009 and scored an unbeaten 60 off 77

balls in that match. However, his Test debut came almost four years later, on 13 December

2012, against England at Nagpur.

Jadeja was bought for $2 million by the Chennai Super Kings at the 2012 IPL Players Auction.

He was bought by the Gujarat Lions in the 2016 IPL Players Auction for 9.5 crores, after the

Chennai Super Kings were banned from the IPL for two seasons. On January 22, 2017, Jadeja

became the first[1] Indian left arm spinner to take 150 One Day International wickets, when he

dismissed Sam Billings at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. In March 2017, he became the top ranked

bowler in the world leaving behind Ravichandran Ashwin who held that position for a long time.
