    What's the story

    With the Border-Gavaskar Trophy just around the corner, Australia's veteran batter Steve Smith has opened on Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja's attributes.

    In a recent chat with Star Sports, Smith confessed that Jadeja's incredible skills and fighting spirit can be "annoying" at times.

    This insight is part of a series of discussions where Australian cricketers are sharing their thoughts about their Indian rivals ahead of the much-anticipated series kicking off on November 22.

    Player assessment

    Smith praises Jadeja's all-round skills

    Smith praised Jadeja's all-round abilities, stating, "I get annoyed by Jadeja on the field, just because he is a very good player."

    He further added that Jadeja always contributes significantly to the game, whether it is scoring runs or taking wickets.

    This sentiment was echoed by Australia's fast bowler Josh Hazlewood, who also named Jadeja as a standout player from Team India.

    Performance review

    Jadeja's impressive track record against Australia

    Jadeja has a solid track record against Australia. He has racked up 570 runs from 23 Test innings, averaging 28.50, with five half-centuries and a best of 81.

    And when it comes to playing Down Under, his average shoots up to 43.75, thanks to two half-centuries in just five innings.

    Moreover, he has taken 89 wickets in Tests against the Aussies, making him a tough nut to crack for the Australian team.

    These insights show the friendly rivalry and mutual respect between the two teams as they gear up for the upcoming series.
