Imran vs Jadeja, who is better in the subcontinent?

[PlayerComparisons]

Who would you pick for a game in the subcontinent?

Jadeja is actually on the field while Imran is in jail. So Jadeja is better.

The whole of the cricketing world romanticizes a thing that is a fast bowling allrounder...

Imran obviously. Even if we just go by averages.

Imran obviously. Even if we just go by averages.

I’d go Jadeja, cause Jadeja has had to bat on tougher pitches in Ind(atleast post 2018, and has averaged 50 here), and Jadeja in Ind=Imran in Pak.

The whole point is, if we don't go by averages, it is Jadeja.

Neither of their batting impact is as significant as their bowling impact, and Imran at home as a bowler on much less supportive pitches was superior to Jadeja.

This ones actually close.... With the ball, Imran is better in home than Jadeja, and he absolutely bashed everything out of Sri Lanka (despite being minnows), but his record in India is just Okay. Jadeja on the other hand never played in Pakistan and his record in Sri Lanka is just fine. With the bat, I think Imran is just better in India, Pakistan and virtually everywhere, though Jadeja batted in tougher conditions.

Overall, I still think Imran's record is superior as Pakistani pitches weren't nearly as helpful as the Indian ones.

Shifting my vote to Imran as he is the better runner between the wickets.

Well he won't be running more than 8 feet I can tell you that

Pakistani umpires and Pepsi bottle caps certainly were.

The answer is obvious, please stop these silly comparisons with the great one!
