#3 Jadeja's rise as an all-rounder

Ravindra Jadeja is a great asset for India in their ODI squad. Apart from immaculate bowling, he has the ability to change the course of a match with some sheer brilliance on the field.
Jaddu has been getting good as a batsman in recent times, contributing at crunch moments apart from his attacking bowling. India needs a good all-rounder who can bowl his quota of 10 overs and contribute with the bat whenever required.
With Hardik Pandya injured and not in the best of forms, Jadeja can hold onto this opportunity which looked bleak for him a couple of months ago.
Jadeja may not get to score big, given he comes at No.7, however, he can be a good foil for MS Dhoni and the tail-enders. Coming in to bat lower down the order, he can play some decisive innings in the context of the match.
