Ajaysinghji Daulatsinhji Jadeja has come to India's rescue time and time again with some bold and swashbuckling hitting all-round the wicket, as he demonstrated superbly during that crucial game against Zimbabwe in the triangular tournament on Sunday.

During the last year, Jadeja's late-order onslaught in instant cricket was a truly winning contribution to Indian cricket. He made substantial scores late in the order on as many as six occasions. India went on to win five of these games -- a phenomenal achievement by any yardstick. During this stint, he scored at more than a-run-a ball which helped India in the ultimate analysis.

One outstanding innings which comes to mind is his knock during the World Cup quarter-final game against Pakistan at Bangalore last year, when he despatched Waqar Younis to all parts of the ground with some breathtaking strokes.

Can we witness yet another Jadeja blitzkriegin the all-important Standard Bank triangular final versus South Africa on Wednesday?
