5 best moments from Ravindra Jadeja's international career

#2 vs England, Champions Trophy final, 2013

Jadeja with the trophy, England 2013

The English team, still searching for their first global 50-over title, came agonisingly close against India in the finals of the Champions Trophy in 2013, but fell short by a mere five runs, imploding under pressure in the final overs.

Rain reduced the match to a 20-over a side encounter, but India, batting first made a mess of their innings, reducing to 66-5 in 13 overs, with Ravi Bopara turning out to be the unlikely hero with the ball.

Jadeja, with the ever-reliant Virat Kohli by his side, provided the final push to give Indian bowlers something to bowl at. He picked up eight runs from the last two balls to give India mental edge as the teams left the field. 130 didn’t seem to be much of a challenge, but the England team inexplicably developed cold feet, struggling to forge a single notable partnership. Jadeja picked up two crucial wickets and was adjudged the Man of the Match for his all-round display. The numbers weren’t impressive, but the impact by the bat in a final turned out to be vital for India.
