Can Ravindra Jadeja Take Away Shakibs Crown

[al-Sagar]

he may end up a better bowler, specially at sub continent pitches but, batting at7/8 for india wont give him enough chance with the bat, either he wont get enough time to bat, or when he gets it wont be enough time

Shakib is a fighter. This injury really slowed him down. His other enemy is he himself. He needs to put in a lot more effort in the nets to add more dimensions to his bowling, keep improving his batting. If things go well and he plays for another 7-8 years, there is every chance he ll score 8000-10000 runs and get 350 plus wickets. With that record he will not only finish as a Bangladeshi legend, but one of the best limited over all rounders of all time.

Regarding Jadeja, yeah probably he wont get much opportunity but he is showing signs of developing into a world class all rounder.

Yes Robindro can take away Sakib's crown as long as he bowls against Aussie

Jadeja will be a good bowler, on turners, but as a batsman he is completely worthless, so there is minimal chance of him overtaking Shakib as a leading all-rounder.

I think Jadeja has 3 Tripple hundreds in domestic cricket

OK, jadeja can be competitive with shakib because he is backed by indian team and surrounded by good match-winners around, but this can be his downfall in a peculiar way to attain the top rank all rounder in icc list, because as seen with hafeez, in spite of playing so much cricket but due to his poor form he moved down to shakib, so as india gets to play so much cricket round the year, there is a possibility that his poor form in a series or two can always pull him back behind shakib in the icc list..

[jeesh]

Yep. And he wont get so many opportunities to prove himself like Shakib does. India already has so many match winners

Couldn't agree more. But with ODI's status in question, will it last that long or will enough matches be played for Shakib to reach those figures?

That being said, I think Jadeja will be very instrumental in the way he is shaping up. Probably more so in ODI's and Tests. Let's not forget that Ashwin is a solid tail ender and has shown he can bat for sessions, so a Jadeja-Ashwin combo down the order will be very helpful and comforting for the Indians.
