Ravindra Jadeja returns to England for his third Test tour, but this time he’s not just part of the team — he’s here to lead. No longer a supporting act, Jadeja walks in as one of India’s top players.
On the other side is Ben Stokes, England’s go-to man. Whether it’s a collapse or a fightback, he’s always in the thick of things. When the series starts on June 20, all eyes will be on these two all-rounders.
Jadeja has played 80 Tests, scored 3,370 runs and taken 323 wickets. His numbers—34.7 with the bat and 24 with the ball—say he can win games quietly but surely.
Stokes has the flair. In 111 Tests, he’s scored 6,728 runs and picked up 213 wickets. His numbers show impact, and even though his bowling average is higher, his match-winning moments keep him in the headlines.
This series comes at a time of transition for India. With Kohli and Rohit gone, Gill and Pant are stepping up. In this new setup, Jadeja’s experience is key.
England too are going through their own transition. Under Stokes, they’ve become more aggressive. He may bowl less now, but he’s still the heartbeat of the team.
So who has the edge? Jadeja brings balance and control. Stokes brings chaos and drama. Both can change games—but they do it differently.
The first Test starts June 20 at 2:30 PM IST, on JioCinema and Star Sports. And while the teams battle it out, the real contest might just be between two men with a point to prove.
Who will rise higher when it matters most? Jadeja or Stokes? Let the series decide.
