International Vice-Captain
Probably the two best all rounders of the modern era after Shakib. Who do you rate higher?

Ben Stokes vs Ravindra Jadeja

Overall package Jadeja edges out for me due to his bowling prowess.
Think team structure also has an effect on things, since Jadeja gets to be like the cherry on top of a solid batting lineup and great bowling attack while Stokes is the 2nd guy after Root holding up the sky while also bowling fast as part of the English attack which can be poor at times.

I mean if you feel like denying reality that's your prerogative, but India's had one of the best batting lineups of recent times. You just don't see it because bowlers dominating means lower scores in general unless you play in Pakistan.

Probably propped up by Jadeja and co as well as home games to some extent. Wonder what 1-5 averages are across teams in recent times. Suspect we come in after Aus, NZ and Pak.l but should be better than the others.
You're not exactly wrong, but my point was that India's been decent enough that Stokes would love to be someone who could essentially be a Jadeja/ideally Hardik Pandya as conditions dictate where he would be coming in at 6/7 and smacking the ball around while having the ability to build long innings if needed, along with being a solid part of a pretty good bowling attack. And these details can end up affecting statistics of both players indirectly outside of their general personal improvements.

I'm not convinced Stokes is actually a better bat tbh

Nah come on. Dude has more than twice the runs and 9 more hundreds.
Yes Jadeja bats lower but too bad. Can’t assume he’d be better batting higher up.

Stokes has 10+ test tons, Jadeja has 2. FFS Jadeja is a very solid #7 but he never bats above that, stokes is a genuine top order bat.

Whatever it takes!!!
Potential and team role based speculations aside (as there are no real facts there to compare), I think Stokes is a more rounded allrounder who can be a good 5th bowler and 6th batsman in a side. Jaddu is more likely to be a good 4th bowler and 7th batsman in a side. IMHO, the former is the more all-round role. So Stokes is the better allrounder, for me.
Looking at the subjective stuff too, I think Stokes is more likely to win a match with both bat and ball than Jaddu in tests.
