5 players who have performed better in Test cricket under Virat Kohli than MS Dhoni

#4 Ravindra Jadeja

Jadeja has improved dramatically as a bowler under Kohli in Test cricket

Jadeja's Test career can be split into two halves of two captains under whom he has been two different cricketers. Under Dhoni, he gained a lot of experience of bowling on different surfaces around the world as he often picked him as the lone spinner to play the holding role in the bowling attack.

That has been the difference under Kohli- Jadeja is now a strike bowler- and that is reflected in the numbers. In 12 Tests under Dhoni, he took 45 wickets and in comparison, he took 116 wickets under Kohli. There is a big difference in the averages as well, 30.37 under Dhoni as compared to 21.28. Strike-rate, too, has taken a massive dip with 76 under Dhoni to 55 under Kohli.

The numbers have improved because Jadeja has bowled a much better line. He is now looking to get the batsman while playing the cover drive, by inviting him forward and whereas an older version of him was thinking of runs and how he could cut it short to keep one end tight even as bowlers at the other end were bleeding them

He only plays red-ball cricket for India now with India preferring to pick two wrist spinners in white-ball cricket and he will be expected to deliver as he gets ready for a second trip to the Old Blighty in a month's time.
