The veteran Indian all-rounder, Ravindra Jadeja is considered by many to be one of the best all-rounders in modern-day cricket. The Chennai Super Kings (CSK) player was recently part of India’s World Test Championship (WTC) Final team. Team India suffered a loss against New Zealand by eight wickets, at The Ageas Bowl in Southampton.
So, when Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Riyan Parag were asked to name a player who can win both Orange and Purple Cap in the Indian Premier League (IPL), he gave Jadeja as the answer. RR and Parag conducted a question-and-answer session on Twitter on Wednesday.
