Former Australian speedster Brett Lee has praised India’s all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, saying that he possesses all the qualities a complete cricketer should have. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Lee even described Jadeja as a “factory-made cricketer.”
“The term we like to use, factory-made cricketer. He has everything that a cricketer needs, and I think he ticks every single box. He does the basics right, he’s got a simple technique, no fuss. He runs in and bowls accurately, he bowls the correct line and length when needed, and gets through his overs quickly,” he said.
In the recently concluded Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, Jadeja emerged as the fourth-highest run-scorer of the series. He was in fantastic form throughout, rescuing India in several tough situations. Jadeja scored 516 runs from five matches at an outstanding average of 86.00, which included five half-centuries and a century, with his highest score being an unbeaten 107. Alongside his batting heroics, he also picked up seven wickets in the series.
Lee believes that Jadeja’s fitness is the key to his success. “36 years of age, but the fittest. He’s the fittest in the team, he covers a lot of ground, and he prides himself on being the fittest. 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, and he’s probably one of the factory cricketers that if you put everything into a mix, throw it into a bucket, mix all up, pick out your best cricketer, Jadeja will be at the top of the list,” he added.
