Some cricket fans also recalled how Shane Warne, who passed away on March 4, 2022, rightly nicknamed Jadeja as “Rockstar”.
Rajasthan Royals picked ravindra Jadeja in 2008.
In the Under-19 World Cup, Jadeja had got 10 wickets but faced only 38 balls.
In IPL 2008, Jadeja played 14 matches but bowled only 13 balls.
His captain/coach identified a future batting star.

I’m thinking back to an interview I did with @msdhoni in 2010. @imjadeja was failing in match after match and there were loud calls that he be dropped.
Dhoni told me – “ We need to have patience. One day Jadeja will be the all-rounder that India needs”
