Brett Lee doesn’t want Ravindra Jadeja to do sword celebration. Here is why

Former Australian seamer and commentator, Brett Lee has opened up on the reason why the Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja shouldn’t carry forward with his sword celebration after reaching his milestones.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Lee stated that the only way he sees Jadeja getting injured is doing a rotator cuff with the way he does the sword celebration. While hailing him as one of the best all-rounders he has seen, he added that he would love to see Jadeja touching the 100-Test mark.

Notably, Jadeja has played 85 Tests so far, amassing 3886 runs at an average of 37.72 with five centuries and 27 half-centuries. Moreover, he scalped 330 wickets with the ball in hand with 15 five-wicket hauls.

“The only way I see him getting injured is doing a rotator cuff, with the way he does the sword celebration. I love it. Look after your body, don’t celebrate too hard. You know, another sort of 15 Tests, it’s about two years. I think he’ll go past the 100 mark. I think he’s one of the best all-rounders that we’ve seen. 36 years of age, he’s still got a good couple of years left in him, Lee said via his YouTube channel.

“The term we like to use, factory-made cricketer. He has everything that a cricketer needs, and I think he ticks every single box. He does the basics right, he’s got a simple technique, no fuss. He runs in and bowls accurately, he bowls the correct line and length when needed, and gets through his overs quickly,” he added.

Jadeja, who had an exceptional Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 against England, is not listed in any of the squads for the Duleep Trophy 2025-26 campaign. However, fans can see him next in action against the West Indies at home in October when they play a two-match Test series.
