Ajay Jadeja Electrifying knock 54(44) with 4 huge sixes vs South Africa @ Wankhede Mumbai 1996

#AjayJadeja #happybirthday
Happy Birthday Ajay Jadeja 🇮🇳 An impish hitter, very good finisher & super fielder. One of the darlings of  cricket & even captained in Odis. 15 Tests & 196 Odis (5935 Runs, 6 Odis & 20 Odi Wickets) Watch his electrifying knock 54 off 44 balls (4 s) vs  in Wankhede 1996.
His star fell because of his alleged involvement in the match-fixing scandal, but Ajay Jadeja, who was born today, was one of the darlings of Indian cricket and even captained them in a handful of one-dayers. He played only 15 Tests, but featured in 196 one-dayers, and gave India crucial momentum in the taut World Cup quarter-final against Pakistan in 1996 with a rascally 25-ball 45, including 22 off one over from Waqar Younis. An impish hitter and a very good finisher, his medium pace was of the occasional variety, but he did take 3 for 3 in a one-dayer against England in Sharjah in 1998-99. He was, by a long way, one of India's best fielders in the 1990s.
