ICC Champions Trophy Final: 3 Key Battles

Eoin Morgan vs. Ravindra Jadeja You cannot compare Morgan and Jadeja in any other way than the heading "something different". Both of these men have got their reputations and gained plaudits for being awkward cricketers. England's, Irishman Eoin Morgan has been put into the category of "finisher." But he isn't just a one trick pony; he can move up the gears and down the gears if needed, depending on the game situation. Morgan is a very unorthodox cricketer, his flexible wrists mean he can nerdle the ball around to all parts. And with new fielding regulations meaning teams can only have four men protecting boundaries; teams now have a headache, cutting all Eoin Morgan's scoring areas off. The Irishman is arguably England's only recognised consistent match winner, a player who can take the game away from the opponents in a heartbeat on regular occasions. Ravindra Jadeja on the other hand, is one of the most orthodox left-arm spinners in the business. But he can boast a record this tournament, that can rival even the greats. Jadeja's left arm spinners have troubled batsmen around the world. With very little turn, he manages to beat the bat with regularity and traps batsmen LBW or bowled, playing down the wrong line. The Decision Review System (DRS) which Jadeja's country India are so firmly against aids his bowling ten-fold. Umpires are more likely to give LBWs on the front foot because DRS would confirm their decisions.
