Ajay Jadeja had all the attributes to be a great Test player but never really clicked in the longer format of the game. He was a great fielder and even captained the team once in a while in the absence of Mohammad Azharuddin.

In the ODI format, he had a very good record scoring 5339 runs in 196 games at a decent average of over 37 and used to score at a brisk pace. His innings of 45 off 25 deliveries in the 1996 World cup quarterfinals against Pakistan is still etched in the memory of many fans. He was a great fielder inside the 30-yard circle and can bowl a bit when required.

In the limited chances that he got to play for India in Test Cricket, he failed to capitalize on the opportunities provided as he scored a paltry 576 runs in 15 games at a disappointing average of 26.
