Finishing is one of the most important tasks in T20 cricket. Be it while batting first or during a chase, the finishers need to be at their best to close the game. If not, teams lose momentum when batting first and could lose the game itself when chasing a score. In this article, we take a look at the player who has been named by S Badrinath as the best finisher in T20 cricket at the moment.
Best finisher in T20 cricket at the moment
Former India cricketer S Badrinath gave his verdict on who is the best finisher in T20 cricket at the moment. The player, who was part of CSK at his prime, said that Ravindra Jadeja is the best in the business right now when it comes to finishing the batting innings.

Badrinath made this comment after Jadeja helped CSK win the game against KKR in UAE on Sunday. After losing the wickets of MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina, CSK was in trouble. However, Jaddu came to the crease and got 22 from eight deliveries. This eventually set up the game for the men in yellow.
Earlier in the season, against RCB, Jaddu scored 37 runs in the final over and completely shifted the momentum towards his team. On that occasion, as well, Jaddu showed the skills he had developed as a finisher.
Ravindra Jadeja is the most improved Indian batsman in recent years
In recent years, very few Indian batsmen have grown in stature as big as Jadeja. The southpaw has done well with the bat in all three formats of the game. So much that in the recent Test series against England, he was also promoted higher up the order. With the T20 World Cup coming up, it would not be a surprise if Jadeja bats higher up than the likes of Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya.
