When Sir Jadeja plays, even the storm clouds hold their rain to ensure a complete match.

When Sir Jadeja bowls, even the English pitches turn for him.

When Sir Jadeja remains unbeaten at the end, it means it’s a match winning total.

When Sir Jadeja appeals strongly, then the batsman gets confused and runs himself out.

Only Sir Jadeja can bowl a wicket maiden in the Batting Powerplay.

Dhoni listens to only Sir Jadeja.

In Sir Jadeja’s presence, even players like Rohit and Ishant Sharma can flourish.

When Sir Jadeja grows a stubble, even the captain stops shaving.
