Ajay Jadeja is one of the bright spots in Indian cricket as he is regarded as one of the best middle order batsmen in one day cricket. He is not only a very attractive stroke player who also has a very compact defensive technique but is an outstanding fielder too and adds agility to the team and also an inspiration to the others to try harder.  Although he started as an opening batsman with Sachin Tendulkar, he was moved down the order. But Jadeja proved his mettle there too   by showing a rare quality of accelerating the run rate in the slog overs. He is probably today the best finisher of the game as he demonstrated in the World cup 1996 quarter final match against India & Pakistan. Though Jadeja is struggling to become the permanent member of the Indian Test squad, he is irreplaceable in the Indian ODI team and his contribution is always a great help to the team.
