Eden Gardens witnessed a showcase of Jadeja’s complete repertoire on Sunday. First, he played a blistering innings, scoring an unbeaten 29 off 15 balls, which included a six and three boundaries. During this innings, he partnered with birthday boy Virat Kohli (101 not out off 121 balls), forging an unbroken 41-run stand for the sixth wicket in just four overs, propelling India to a formidable total of 326 for 5.
Jadeja’s impact was not limited to his batting. With the ball in hand, he wreaked havoc on South Africa’s in-form batting lineup, achieving his maiden World Cup five-wicket haul with figures of 5 for 33 in nine overs. Jadeja led the Indian bowling attack, and together, they bundled out South Africa for a mere 83 runs in just 27.1 overs. It marked the Proteas’ biggest ODI defeat in terms of runs.

Jadeja also became only the second India spinner to take a five-wicket haul in the ODI World Cup, after Yuvraj Singh, who returned figures of 5/31 vs Ireland in 2011 edition.
Rohit was effusive in his praise for Jadeja, emphasising his vital contribution to the team. He said, “Jadeja has been very good for us. Playing in every format over the years. Today was a classical case as to what Jadeja is for us. He came out at the death and scored vital runs and then picked up wickets.”

Jadeja’s versatility and match-winning performances have undoubtedly been a crucial factor in India’s dominant World Cup campaign.
