India and England will take on each other in a 5 match Test series against each other in England, starting from Headingley on 20 June. Shubman Gill has been appointed as the skipper for the side after Rohit Sharma announced his retirement from the red-ball format earlier. Despite Gill leading the side without any experience of captaincy, spectators are excited to witness the battle of two greats, India’s ace all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and England captain Ben Stokes. Both players play a crucial role in strengthening the lower middle order of the teams. Jadeja debuted in Test cricket in 2012 against England itself. Ben Stokes made his debut in 2013.

The comparison between Ravindra Jadeja and Ben Stokes in Test cricket highlights two outstanding all-rounders with different strengths. Stokes has played more matches (111) than Jadeja (80), giving him an edge in total runs (6728 vs. 3370) and slightly higher batting average (35.4 vs. 34.7). However, Jadeja’s bowling performance is significantly more effective, having taken more wickets (323 vs. 213) with a much better bowling average (24 vs. 32). This shows Jadeja’s superior contribution with the ball, while Stokes contributes more consistently with the bat over a larger number of matches.
