'He always finds a way to.. ': Steve Smith's Frank Reply On Who is Team India's Most Annoying Player

Aussie batting general Steve Smith and veteran pacer Josh Hazlewood were recently asked to pick the most annoying player/players in the Indian dressing room. Both had a unanimous name in the mind, and it was not Virat Kohli , who has been bothering the Aussies for over a decade now. Not Rishabh Pant , who emerged as one of the biggest match-winners for India when the last time India toured Australia for the Border Gavaskar Trophy. And not even Jasprit Bumrah , who will once again spearhead the Indian bowling attack in the forthcoming India vs Australia 5-match Test series.

Smith and Hazlewood Pick Jadeja as the Most Annoying

According to Steve Smith and Josh Hazlewood, it is Ravindra Jadeja, who is the most annoying them of all. Explaining his take, Smith stated that the ability of Jadeja comes as an intimidating one, as he can play all the roles and could impact the game with the ball, bat, and through a sublime effort in the field.

“I get annoyed by Jadeja on the field just because he's a very good player. He always finds a way to get in the battle, whether it's scoring runs, taking wickets, or making a great catch. It can be a bit annoying at times, but he's a very good player,” Smith told Star Sports.

As an all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja has shined in every facet of the game. He carries a healthy average of above 30 with the bat in both ODIs and Tests. Has amassed over 5000 runs as well. With the ball, he recently breached the 300 mark in Tests and has snared 220 dismissals in ODIs till now. The statistics are enough to display how big an asset Ravindra Jadeja is for Team India. Moreover, with India's tour down under approaching, Jadeja will once again be expected to play a key role for India.
