Ravindra Jadeja (2008-2017): The evolution in pictures

Jadeja constantly found himself in and out of the team

The constant trolling would have discouraged even the most accomplished; Jadeja hadn't even done much of note till then. With preparations hastened for the World Cup that was fast approaching, everyone forgot Jadeja, and after the glory that followed, the carpet was yanked from beneath his feet. From December 2010 to September the next year, he did not get a single chance.

Jadeja shone with the bat in his comeback game in 2011

In September 2011, with India suffering through an agonisingly fruitless tour of England, Jadeja returned, and in some style, scoring 78 at The Oval after arriving at the crease at 58-5.

Jadeja was not part of the 2012 World T20

During Australia's tour in early 2012, Jadeja managed to shine in spurts, but gave a good account of his fielding prowess on the big grounds Down Under. His reflexes were on point, he moved as quickly as anyone while chasing the ball and his left-arm throw was described as a 'rocket'. During one of the games, he was awarded the Man of the Match award mainly due to his fielding efforts.
