Stuart Broad admits Jadeja's sword celebration used to annoy him

Stuart Broad revealed Jadeja's sword celebration annoyed him but praised the all-rounder's impact across formats.

Stuart Broad has admitted that Ravindra Jadeja's sword celebration used to grate on him. Broad would tell Jadeja that batters averaging 50 shouldn't celebrate like that, saving the flair for a hundred instead.

Jadeja returns for India in the two-Test series against Sri Lanka starting in Galle on Saturday. England never knew whether to play him or Ravichandran Ashwin at home, and Jos Buttler called Jadeja a nightmare to face in India — the kind who stands up when the game tightens and bats lower middle order.
