Ravindra Jadeja
The fourth best all-rounder in ODI cricket, Ravindra Jadeja has always been the favorite of his skipper Dhoni. He can bat, he can bowl and he can field, what else you expect from a player.
Despite his poor form with both bat and ball in the test series, he may be included in the squad for his short yet useful cameos after the batsmen failure. Karn Sharma and Stuart Binny are other options for Dhoni to replace Jadeja but in the first ODI he might not take risk with an uncapped player.
Jadeja's record with the ball in ODIs, his fielding and his rocket arm made him a valuable player in shorter formats, which shows in his US$2 million price tag at Chennai Super Kings. In August 2013 he topped the ICC's ODI rankings, the first Indian since Anil Kumble in 1996.
Shane Warne, his former IPL captain at Rajasthan Royals, nicknamed him "rockstar" because of Jadeja's confidence in his own ability, but his utility lies in his ability to do the dirty work.
