England legend Geoffrey Boycott has once again picked Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja as his favourite current cricketer. However, this time, Boycott has not only hailed Ravindra Jadeja’s skills, but he has also lauded the Indian all-rounder’s personality and appearance.
Boycott’s glowing praise for Jadeja came after the left-arm spinner’s stunning performances during India’s 1-0 Test series win over Sri Lanka. The 37-year-old has once again shown why he remains one of India’s most valuable players by finishing the two-match Test series with eight wickets. Earlier, Ravindra Jadeja revealed the painful reality of his early India career under Virat Kohli.
Geoffrey Boycott has admired Ravindra Jadeja for a long time and had already named the all-rounder as his favourite cricketer of the current generation. The well-known broadcaster has now reiterated his choice after watching Jadeja continue to perform at the highest level.
Boycott said on the Overlap Cricket YouTube channel, “Jadeja, he bowls beautifully, his fielding is electric, and he can bat; gets his head down and bats properly. And he is a handsome so-and-so. I met him for the first time recently. Last year I went to India, and I met him. I said, 'You are my favourite cricketer.' He said, 'No way,' and I said, 'Definitely.' Very handsome and a nice lad. Just a good cricketer, isn't he? All-round cricketer.”
Geoffrey Boycott reveals what makes Ravindra Jadeja special
The former England batter highlighted Jadeja’s three-way impact. His left-arm spin, sharp fielding and useful batting make him a complete all-rounder. Boycott also feels Jadeja brings great energy to the team and has the ability to lift the players around him. Amid this, the BCCI calls Gautam Gambhir, Ajit Agarkar and VVS Laxman for a review meeting.
Boycott further added, “I like Jadeja. I've always liked him; he's always in the game. Bowls left-arm spin, and his fielding is fantastic. I've always thought if you can do a really great job in the team, fine; become a great player and get your runs.
"But another quality isn't spoken about much. That is, through your performance, can you lift the others? And he fields so brilliantly with such energy. And he bats. Has a smile on his face but is tough inside. He's a top player and does everything I like about a cricketer – energy, smiles, toughness underneath, and competitiveness.”
Jadeja reaches special Test milestone
Ravindra Jadeja recently became only the fourth cricketer in Test history to complete the rare double of 4,000 runs and 350 wickets. During the recent Sri Lanka series, Jadeja joined an elite list that already includes England great Ian Botham, New Zealand legend Daniel Vettori and India’s World Cup-winning captain Kapil Dev.
Jadeja has been among India’s leading all-format players for more than a decade. He has made a huge impact with the bat, the ball and in the field. He has also been part of India’s major title-winning teams, including the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy and 2024 T20 World Cup squads.
His consistency, fighting attitude and ability to contribute in every department have made him one of the most complete all-rounders of the modern era. However, he has now retired from T20I cricket but is active in the Test and ODI formats. Jadeja aims to play at the ICC ODI World Cup 2027.
