Career threads
Beyond the numbers
Elite across all three formats
788 wickets across all formats. Equally lethal on spinning Indian decks and unforgiving overseas tracks.
Test cricket is where the numbers peak
A batting average in all-rounder territory, a bowling average in the mid-twenties, a No.1 ranking held across multiple cycles.
A franchise career of its own
250 IPL appearances, 173 wickets — four titles with Chennai, and the 2026 move brings it full circle.
Sir Jadeja
The meme that became a compliment. A cultural marker only a handful of modern players carry.

Historical aggregates derived from Cricsheet (cricsheet.org) under ODC-BY licence. 2001/02–2026 IPL seasons. Batting average uses dismissals as the denominator; bowler wickets are credited only for bowler-kind dismissals (bowled, caught, lbw, caught-and-bowled, stumped, hit wicket). Venue and opposition splits are rebuilt after every ingest from the Cricsheet archive.
