Ravindra Jadeja may not have dominated with the ball in the recently concluded Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy against England, but with the bat, the Indian all-rounder was a revelation. The left-hander piled up 516 runs in the five-match series, including five half-centuries and a memorable ton, reaffirming his value to the side.

Former Australia pacer Brett Lee , however, believes Jadeja’s greatest threat could come not from opposition bowlers but from his own trademark celebration.
“The thing with Jadeja, the only way I see him getting injured is doing a rotator cuff with his, the way he does a sword celebration. So, I love it. Look after your body. Don’t celebrate too hard,” Lee said on his YouTube channel, sounding both admiring and concerned.
Lee, who rates Jadeja as the best all-rounder in world cricket today, added that no one comes close to matching his complete skillset. “He has everything that a cricketer needs, and I think he actually ticks every single box. He does the basics right… arguably the best in the world,” he observed.
At 36, Jadeja continues to be among the fittest in the Indian setup, something Lee sees as a cornerstone of his success. “He’s the fittest in the team. He prides himself on being the fittest, and to me, that is probably the reason why he never shies away from those big moments. He likes to be in the game. He’s an entertainer,” Lee said.
The former speedster also predicted Jadeja will soon join the elite 100-Test club. “He’s punched out 85 Test matches for his country already, and I believe he will go past that magical 100 barrier. Anyone who’s played 100 Tests is a GOAT in my opinion,” Lee asserted.
