Kingston (Jamaica), Aug 31: Ravindra Jadeja's improved batting and control on a flat deck has helped him get picked ahead of off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin in the playing XI against the West Indies, India head coach Ravi Shastri said here on Saturday.

"Look at Jaddu, his record is fabulous. You have to see what he brings to the table. He is probably best fielder in the world now and he has improved his batting like hell," Shastri told former England cricketer Graeme Swann in an interview for hosts bradcaster Sony.
