Former South Africa pacer Dale Steyn feels that all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja been added during the recently concluded ODI series against SA vs IND he could have cherished a lot more than Rohit Shrama.
According to Dale Steyn, in contribution to all three cricket departments (bat, field and bowling) Ravindra Jadeja’s all-rounder ability must have given the Indian teams an extra edge.
“He definitely remembered someone like Sir Ravi Jadeja. I think he is a great cricketer. He can control the game with his left arm spin. He is brilliant and he can bat as well.”

Adding further,
“Indian bowling side is good and has some best bowlers but still adding a few new fast bowlers in the list could add some value, supporting Jasprit Bumrah. India has a bit of a bowling issue. They need someone who can bowl in the 140-145 kmph bracket. Shami is great. His one it was a long Test series. Siraj looks like a name in the future. I think he has been in a bit of trouble “
