The Indian team, led by captain Rohit Sharma, has to play the final match of the World Test Championship (WTC) against Australia from June 7 at the Oval ground in England, but star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is dominating the Indian bowlers on this ground. Jadeja is an important all-rounder for both the IPL team Chennai Super Kings and the Indian team and he has always been at the forefront of winning the team, getting wickets when needed. The IPL-16 season was almost considered to be the last for veteran batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni and the team was almost on the verge of defeat in the final. In such a situation, Jadeja got Dhoni and the team the IPL trophy by scoring 10 runs in two balls. He is currently running in excellent form and will be expected to do well in the final as well.
