Ravindra Jadeja, a seasoned all-rounder and a key player in the Indian cricket team, has been a vital component in various ICC tournaments. However, when it comes to semi-final and final games in white-ball cricket, Jadeja’s performances have been a mixed bag. After his stellar Golden Ball performance in the Champions Trophy 2013, let’s delve into each of his ICC semi-final and final appearances.

The Early Setbacks:

Jadeja’s journey in ICC knockout games began with the World T20 2014, where he struggled in both the semi-final and final. In the semi-final against South Africa, he bowled 2 overs, conceding 8 runs without taking a wicket. The final against Sri Lanka saw him bowling 1 over, giving away 11 runs without making an impact.

World Cup 2015 and World T20 2016:

The ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 saw Jadeja facing a tough time in the semi-final against Australia, where he bowled 10 overs and conceded 56 runs without picking up a wicket. In the World T20 2016 semi-final, his performance was below par again, as he went wicketless, conceding 48 runs in 4 overs.

Champions Trophy 2017:

Jadeja’s fortunes took a positive turn in the Champions Trophy 2017 semi-final against Bangladesh, where he bowled 10 overs, taking 1 wicket for 48 runs. However, the final against Pakistan proved to be challenging, with Jadeja going wicketless in 8 overs, conceding 67 runs.

Cricket World Cup 2019:

The Cricket World Cup 2019 semi-final against New Zealand showcased Jadeja’s ability to make an impact, as he bowled a crucial spell of 10 overs, picking up 1 wicket for 34 runs. Despite his efforts, India fell short in the semi-final.

Cricket World Cup 2023:

In the most recent ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, Jadeja faced disappointment in the semi-final against an opponent, as he went wicketless in 10 overs, conceding 63 runs. The trend continued in the final against another opponent, where he bowled 10 overs, giving away 43 runs without taking a wicket.
