His success continued in limited-overs cricket, where he played a key role in India’s win in the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. By mid-2013, Jadeja had climbed to the No. 1 ranking among ODI bowlers, making history as the first Indian bowler to achieve this feat since Anil Kumble.

However, this partnership with the Royals ended after the 2009 season. For the 2010 season, IPL Governing Council suspended him due to contractual irregularities.

After Anil Kamble in 1996, Jadeja was the first Indian bowler to top the ICC ODI bowling rankings. It was his economical bowling and lower-order contributions that helped India to reach the final of the 2014 World T20I. India’s cool captain ‘MS Dhoni’ gave Jadeja the title of “Sir” in a joke on Twitter but the latter proved himself of the title by becoming the quickest left-arm bowler to reach 200 Test wickets in 2019.

The star cricketer is also renowned for his lightning-fast reflexes and athletic prowess and has made exceptional catches, direct hits, and game-changing run-outs, especially during T20Is. Apart from this, he was the top wicket-taker in the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy and was awarded Man of the Match as part of the victorious final team.

He notched up his first Test fifty against England in 2014, helping India secure a draw in that match. Jadeja also holds the record for the highest runs scored in a single over during the IPL, amassing 36 runs off Harshal Patel of RCB in a seven-ball over in 2021, making the total runs conceded in that over 37.
