Nick Knight: Former England opener Nick Knight lavished praise on Ravindra Jadeja and expressed his willingness to include him in his World XI for Test cricket, saying that there are not too many as good as the Indian all-rounder in the world.

Jadeja emerged as the saviour for the Indian team on day 1 of the third Test between India and England in Rajkot, showcasing his remarkable all-round skills. Coming in to bat at a critical juncture when India was struggling at 33 for 3, Jadeja exhibited resilience and composure, crafting his 21st Test fifty in an unbeaten partnership with skipper Rohit Sharma.

"I reckon, Jadeja is in my World XI as one of the early picks. He gives you everything, the balance that he gives to the side. Also because of his other skills, his fielding, even in Tests. He takes a great catch, more often than not. He is that sort of all-round cricketer. I don't think there are too many as good as him in the world," Nick Knight told Sports18.
