I am not understanding why everyone is so surprise? Jadeja always been consistent player in all format especially test cricket. His contribution to team is unmatchable.
How can you say Jadeja is best all-rounder? What about Ravindra Ashwin performance? He also have similar stats and sometimes even better. ICC need to explain their ranking methodology more clearly because it create lot of confusion among fans.
Jadeja is absolute legend! His batting, bowling and fielding all are top class. He deserve this rank very much. Abhishek also doing great in T20 format, happy to see young talent rising.
Sorry but I dont agree with this ranking at all. There are many better all-rounders than Jadeja right now who deserve higher position. ICC ranking system is sometimes very confusing and not making sense.
This is ridiculous ranking! There is no way Abhishek deserve first place with just few matches played. Too early to give him such high ranking in my opinion.
Congratulation to both players! Jadeja sir you are inspiration and Abhishek keep up the good work. India cricket future looking bright with such talented players.
Great to see Jadeja maintaining form! Consistency is key in test cricket.
Oh wow, so Jadeja maintain high rank? What a surprise! Nobody could have predicted that one of India’s best all-rounder would stay in top rankings. Truly shocking news.
According to recent test matches Jadeja have average of 52 with bat and 24 with ball in last 10 test. His fielding save minimum 15-20 runs per match. Abhishek Sharma strike rate in T20i is 180+ which is incredible for opening batsman. These statistics clearly justify their rankings.
Yeah sure, lets just give everyone rank and trophy. Why not make every player number 1? ICC ranking these days is joke, they change every week based on one or two match performance.
Jadeja so versatile that even his ranking dont know whether to go up or stay same! 😂 But seriously, man is pure talent. Abhishek bhai just took first place in T20i ‘dough’… hope he make some good roti with that dough lol!
People need to understand difference between talent and consistency. Yes Abhishek showing great talent but can he maintain this for long time? That is real question. Jadeja on other hand prove himself over many years thats why he deserve his rank. But ICC should be more careful with new players ranking.
