Ravindra Jadeja has played his role as an all-rounder to perfection under the captaincy of both Virat Kohli and MS?Dhoni. He is now the top bowler and all-rounder in the latest ICC?Test rankings

Ravindra Jadeja expressed his gratitude towards his former captain MS Dhoni and the incumbent Virat Kohli after the star Indian all-rounder was hailed as the world’s top-ranked bowler and all-rounder by the ICC in its latest Test rankings released recently.

Ravindra Jadeja, who played a match-winning role for India in the second Test against Sri Lanka that sealed the series in his team’s favour, will unfortunately miss the final contest of the series.

The 28-year-old Saurashtra cricketer has headed back home after being suspended from the Pallekele Test, and has been replaced by left-arm-spinner Axar Patel.

Meanwhile, Jadeja took Twitter to thank MS?Dhoni and Virat Kohli, as well as the Indian cricket board and his family.
