Dhoni pays homage to 'Sir Ravindra Jadeja' on Twitter

Ravindra Jadeja surprised a lot of people with his performances against Australia in the recent four-Test series. Bracketed as a limited overs specialist, it was Jadeja’s bowling that shone brightest, with only R Ashwin taking more wickets, though Jadeja bested him in the average and strike-rate columns.

The allrounder’s success led to the creation of a Sir Ravindra Jadeja meme on Twitter, a meme similar to those around Chuck Norris and Rajnikanth.

Today, India’s captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni jumped in on the act on Twitter and paid his own tribute to Sir Ravindra Jadeja.

Here are his tweets:
