Ravindra Jadeja is known for his signature sword-swinging celebration on the cricket field, but former Australian fast bowler Brett Lee has warned Jadeja about the move. Lee suggested that Jadeja might injure his rotator cuff muscle while doing the celebration.

Jadeja scored 516 runs in the recent Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test series against England, which ended in a 2-2 tie. His performance included five half-centuries and one century. Lee mentioned on his YouTube channel that the only way he could see Jadeja getting injured is through his sword celebration. He jokingly cautioned Jadeja to take care of his body and not celebrate too hard.

Jadeja retired from T20 Internationals after India’s T20 World Cup victory last year. Despite this, he remains a key player for India in Test matches and ODIs. Lee praised Jadeja and predicted that he would play 100 Test matches for India. He estimates that Jadeja needs to play about 15 more Tests, which should take around two years, to reach the 100-Test mark. Lee believes Jadeja is one of the best all-rounders in the sport and that, at 36 years old, he still has a couple of good years left in him.

Lee described Jadeja as a factory-made cricketer, meaning he possesses all the necessary qualities of a cricketer. He added that Jadeja excels in all aspects of the game by doing the basics correctly with a simple and efficient technique. He bowls accurately and maintains the correct line and length, completing his overs quickly.

According to Lee, Jadeja is the fittest member of the team at 36 years old. He covers a lot of ground on the field and is very focused on maintaining his fitness. Lee believes this fitness is why Jadeja performs well in important moments as he enjoys being involved in the game and entertaining the fans. Lee concluded that if you were to choose the best cricketer from a mix of qualities, Jadeja would be at the top of the list.
