You didn't even mention the fielding prowess of sir jadeja still considered him MVP. He's truly one the greatest fielders ever.

Was this even a debate? I thought it was pretty obvious that Jadeja was atleast India's most valuable test player. Dude just keeps on producing.

Jajeja is a machine with sensational numbers, stokes has offered England something hard to measure especially since captaincy and so often is the man of the big moments.

Ravindra Jadeja is the "Greatest of All Time" Left Arm Orthodox Spinner Ravindra Jadeja is the "Greatest of All Time" Spinner All Rounder Ravindra Jadeja is the "Greatest of All Time" Outfield Fielder Basically he is the "Greatest of All Time" on whatever he does How many players in History of Test Cricket can even fight for these many tiles?

You do the best representation of cricket data, my friend! Easy to understand and some eye-catching plots. Keep up the great work! 😊👍🏽

Englisher here, he's definitely one of my favourite players. He's also one of the top 4 I DONT wanna see on the team sheet when we play the mighty Indians.

Some of the runouts and catches have been unreal even in test matches!

I struggle to imagine an India test side without Jadeja and Ashwin. Together they are worth a lot more than 2 players. Maybe they are both worth 3-3.5 players. So grateful to have watched them play in this 2nd golden age of Indian cricket.

Jarrod, he had to take a tactical break for Gujarat elections in Nov-Dec time.

Without a doubt, Mr. Ravi Jadeja has indeed been a Very Valuable Player for India in all formats and for CSK in the IPL. Also, unlike many other good batsmen including the current greats from Pakistan, he is able to strike the ball and score at a high rate right away, when appropriate and needed. And like many other greats, he needs a good supporting cast also!!

Jarrod, I cant understand why you dont have a million + subscribers. Guess cricket just doesnt have the crowd for such content at the moment.

Probably the best KZfaq channel. I enjoy every video and the in-depth analysis based on numbers and data rather than bias. Great job

sir jadeja is GOAT 🐐🐐🐐

8:41 Kallis is marginally missing out. His bowling avg is 32 or something. His average differential is 22.8. And he is a slipper. But he's not the typical ATHLETE type. 9:21 we've seen it in Kallis.

Great analysis and I agree with the conclusion. Though, I think you have to look at aggregate runs too and not just averages & similarly total wickets too. Averages can be deceiving for eg number of not outs for someone who bats lower down vis a vis top order. Another way to look at this would be percentages - % of runs scored in team total and % of wickets taken for the team. Would give a direct value of the player in the team's over performance

A day will come when Jarrod will do an analysis on Lord shradul thakur

The millenial kid in me always hated Jadeja for his botched up performance in that Sachin's iconic 175 run loss match. But the more wiser I get, the more I start appreciating Jadeja for all the performance he has been doing in the last 5-6 years and the more admiration I have for Dhoni for keeping him (& Rohit) in the team as "CSK Quota" player. Time is some bitch for Sir & MaggieMan 😅😅😅

Do some Kane Williamson analysis

It's Sir Jadeja to you, Jarrod.

Missed " oooo Ravi jadega, oooo Ravi jadega"

Iam surprised you haven't yet posted anything about Nz vs SL

Yes. I assumed this was obvious. He's make every Test team in the world and be one of their best players. Holder, a very good cricketer, averages less than 3 wickets a Test so he is NOT a front line bowler. He is ALMOST a bowler and ALMOST a batsman. However, West Indies really need him. He wouldn't make the top teams though. Stokes is in the same boat but a better batsman. I'd forgotten about Faulkner. Very decent cricketer. Shame about his death. Jadeja is MVP and possibly the best player in the world. Also, you glossed over his fielding. Fielding is crucial. He is brilliant. If I was playing some sort of Cricket Fantasy competition. Jadeja would be my first selection. Of course this is just the opinion of an ill informed cricket tragic.

I wish you bring back infographic video essay with voice over

There is only one God of Cricket, all hail to Ravindra Jadeja

Moieen Ali statistics don't actually give insight into how good of a off spiner he is nor how good of a batsman he is. The actual problems he causes with the bowl has to be seen to be belived, likewise the actual effect of his batting has to be seen also. But if we left everything to the judgments we would be leaving our judgments to opinions of experts alone which suffer from being right or wrong; statistics on the other hand provide a general indication.

Jarrod, can you do a video on Shakib? Why was he the top all rounder across all formats (according to ICC rankings) for as long as he has?

After all he is the Wizard's Rockstar

What is the source of the data that you have used here?

Your analysis and stats would have been perfect if you included his sword celebration.

Beautiful

@3.58 how has he outbowled Ashwin, lyon outside Asia??

Long story short it is SIR Ravindra jadeja.

Jadeja is always fit. He missed matches because India drop him in the name of resting him.

Numbers do not lie, but I'll still take Stokes outside of India.

Short answer is no

Hi timber.

10:00 Kohli dropped in form and went out of discussion.

He has made 2658 runs in 64 tests. An average of 41.53 per Test. A typical batsman will contribute 65+. He’s a lower order contributor only. No way a number 5. He’d be exposed there. Record boosted by not outs. A fabulous all round cricketer, but within this, his batting is overrated. And how does a spinner bowl so many no balls? Small sample size but Jadeja has scored 68 runs in 7 innings batting above 6 (4-5) at an average of 9.71.

If hardik plays WTC final , it can be really useful ! I know it's out of the box but hardik has improved his bowling , he can provide this Indian team a right balance

You forgot about helping his wife win the VIDHANSABHA election.

Stokes > jadeja

Ben stokes over jadeja any day...
