Ravindra Jadeja – Year-wise Bowling Performance in Tests
What makes life difficult for a batsman is Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin bowling in tandem in Indian conditions.

His best bowling performance in a Test innings (in 2016) and the most 5-for in a calendar year (in 2017) also came in that period.
