Aakash Chopra Makes Huge Statement on Team India Versatile Cricketer

Aakash Chopra, a former cricketer for India, said that Ravindra Jadeja is the best all-rounder in the world of cricket at present, ahead of Ben Stokes. Chopra placed Jadeja above the captain of England while pointing out that the latter does not bowl a lot because of his injury issues.
Jadeja and Stokes are two of the most prominent all-rounders in Test cricket at present. Jadeja has scored 2804 runs and claimed 275 wickets in 67 matches. On the other hand, Stokes has played 97 Tests, scoring 6117 and claiming 197 wickets.
While speaking on his YouTube channel, Chopra rated Jadeja as a better Test all-rounder than Stokes at present. Giving his reasons for the same, he said that “Ravindra Jadeja presents a wonderful package. He bats at number seven and guarantees you 10 overs with the ball [in one-day cricket]. In Tests, he is not only India’s but the world’s best all-rounder, better than Ben Stokes because Stokes doesn’t bowl. Jadeja wins your games, match after match. He is an unsung hero and definitely the best all-rounder in red ball cricket.”
