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.
