Ravindra Jadeja's exploits with the bat and the ball have received praise from the Indian skipper, MS Dhoni, who has hailed the southpaw's recent performances and termed him as the perfect bowling all-rounder. Dhoni went onto add that Jadeja was the answer to the elusive bowling all-rounder India had been looking for for quite a while now and the only other option they had in the recent past was Irfan Pathan.
"Jadeja is definitely someone who is giving us that balance. In that way, Jadeja is the perfect person to have. We have been struggling with the bowling all-rounder. Irfan is the only one that we have got. Before the new rules were introduced, we used to rely on Yuvraj Singh Images and other part timers to get over with the 10 overs. But with the new rule, Yuvi will need a bit more time to settle down as a bowler," stated Dhoni.
However the Indian captain did not want to put undue batting pressure on Jadeja and expected the Indian top order to perform. "He can bat a bit, but at the same time, we don't want to expose him too much right now. The top-order needs to perform and he bats at No 7 for us. We have seen glimpses of him and he can really take on the bowlers. It does not matter if you're a quickie or a spinner," said Dhoni.
