Ravindra Jadeja was already an U-19 World Cup champ when he joined the Rajasthan Royals in the first edition of IPL in 2008, but it was Shane Warne’s belief that made him an instant hit. 

“We were just coming out of our U-19s and to share the dressing room with Warne was a huge thing. He gave me a huge platform and post U-19, it was a direct entry into the IPL,” Jadeja said.
