Both Ravindra Jadeja (left) and Shahid Afridi are wicket-taking bowlers for their captains

Over the years, all-rounders, Ravindra Jadeja and Shahid Afridi have been mocked and jeered for various reasons. With Jadeja, it was perceived that he wasn’t good enough to play at the top echelons of the game. On the other end of the spectrum, Afridi has been ridiculed for his maverick ways and him ‘not ageing beyond 18’. However, both have that supreme ability to turn the tables and change the course of the game within no time and have that perseverance to wade through hurdles. As India take on Pakistan in Asia Cup 2014 in a titanic battle, the contest between Jadeja and Afridi will add to it as an intriguing sub plot.
