5 cricketers who made a successful transition from T20s to Tests

#4 Ravindra Jadeja

Jadeja adapted effectively to Test cricket

One of the heroes of India's U-19 team that won the World Cup in 2008, Ravindra Jadeja's potential was first spotted by Shane Warne. He roped Jadeja in his franchise Rajasthan Royals and the Indian all-rounder performed decently in the IPL.

He was a utility cricketer who could bat a bit in the lower order and could bowl a few overs with his left-arm spin. His acrobatic fielding was a bonus. With all these features, he quickly found a place in India's ODI and T20 team.

However, inconsistency and a string of low performances pushed Jadeja out of the national team and he was back in domestic cricket. But the Saurashtra spinner was back on the radar by slamming three triple-centuries and found a place in India's Test team in 2012.

Since then, he has evolved as one of the finest left-arm spinners in the world and has become a mainstay in India's Test team. He is not a big turner of the ball but his accuracy and ability to bowl on the same spot for an eternity has made him a dangerous threat on any surface.

His exploits in T20 have continued thanks to his control and quick action and at the same time, he has matured in Test cricket as a bowler for all occasions.
