Ranking India's all-rounders ahead of the World Cup

#2 Ravindra Jadeja

Australia v India - ODI: Game 1

Ravindra Jadeja brings a swagger of his own to the team. From chipping in with timely wickets to assuming a bankable place down the batting order, the southpaw flaunts numerous credentials to his name. Jaddu, as he's fondly known, is also a prowler in the field, making him a strong bet to bag the all-rounder's spot.

Be it at last year's Asia Cup or during the recently concluded ODI series against Australia, the 30-year-old has proved his worth time and again in the 50-over format.

In addition to the ability to blaze away with the bat at the end, Jadeja is also capable of playing the waiting game if the need be. His bowling prowess, on the other hand, is a renowned one in world cricket.

Finishing overs quickly and giving little scope to score runs, the left-arm spinner holds his own place in the bowling department.

However, with Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav forming a successful partnership on a consistent basis, Jadeja might have the odds against him to find a spot in the team.
