'If you're a kid, emerging player or county cricketer, copy Jadeja': Pietersen

Kevin Pietersen has urged young and budding cricketers of England to look up to and emulate star India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja if they wish to have a long career in Test match cricket. Highly impressed with Jadeja, the former captain feels England desperately needs a fine left-arm spinner, possibly someone of Jadeja's caliber, who can't only bowl, but give the team handy runs lower down the order. "It frustrates me that there still isn't an international-standard English left-arm spin bowler who bats. Look at what Ravindra Jadeja has done for India in Test match cricket, one-day cricket, and T20 cricket," Pietersen wrote in his blog for Bertway Insider. Jadeja has 220 wickets in Tests and 227 in limited-overs cricket, but lately, it's his batting that has made him a huge sensation in Indian cricket. Jadeja's batting average, especially in Test matches, has shot to 36.18 and he's scoring runs more consistently than he's even done in his career.
