Articles about Ajay Jadeja
Profile:
After half a decade of persistence, the young and effervescent Haryana
batsman appeared to finally establish his place in the Indian Test and
ODI side. Whenever injuries to other players afforded him an opportunity
to play, he has grabbed it with both hands, and now looks set for a fruitful
career as a Test match opener. Although he had much success as an opener
in one-day cricket in partnership with Tendulkar, he has had to move down
the order to accommodate Manoj Prabhakar in his former slot. To his credit,
this attractive strokeplayer, who is also in possession of a compact defensive
technique, has adapted extremely well to his new role, displaying the ability
to both step up the run rate, or shore up the innings. His value to the
team is further highlighted by his outstanding abilities in the field,
where he can be counted on to save about 20 runs in every match, most of
them from his favourite haunt at backward point. In addition, he bowls
a useful gentle medium pace, much in the vein of Mohinder Amarnath, a tremendous
asset to the one-day side.
