Kapil Dev: Jadeja Outshines Stokes in All-Rounder Comparison

Kapil Dev, the celebrated former captain of the Indian cricket team, has declared Ravindra Jadeja as a better all-rounder than England’s Ben Stokes. This comment comes after Stokes reached 7000 Test runs in the recent Manchester Test, where he hit a magnificent six on Day 4. In his Test career, Stokes has scored 7,032 runs in 115 matches at an average of 35.69, including 14 centuries and 35 half-centuries. He is only the third all-rounder in Test history to achieve the double of 7000 runs and 200 wickets. During the match, Stokes scored 141 runs off 198 balls. Jadeja performed well, taking 4/143 and being the best bowler for India in the first innings. In the ongoing series, Jadeja has scored 347 runs in seven innings with an average of 86.75, including four half-centuries. In his Test career, Jadeja has scored 3,697 runs in 83 Tests with 4 centuries and 26 fifties and has taken 326 wickets.
