Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Born to a royal family, Jadeja first steps in International cricket was during the 1992 Benson and Hedges World Cup. A stunning catch to get rid of Allan Border signaled the entry of a dynamic cricketer who could lift the mood of the team with his mannerism on and off the field. Despite being a proficient player in the shorter format of the game, Jadeja struggled to assert himself in the longer formats as his modest record in Test cricket shows.
One of the best fielders in the Indian team, Jadeja showed his class in the ODIs. He is particularly remembered for his innings in the quarter finals of the 1996 WC against arch-rivals, Pakistan. The match was well poised before Jadeja launched a blitzkrieg against a shell shocked Waqar Younis. Jadeja’s cameo of 45 off just 25 balls was the icing on the cake and set India firmly on their way to the semi-finals.
Jadeja had served as the vice captain of the Indian team and had all the qualities in him to be a leader of the national side. Things though turned Topsy-turvy as he was one amongst those named in a CBI report against match fixing. The proof was never to be found, but the BCCI imposed a 5-year ban from all formats of the game. Jadeja went on an appeal and the ban was quashed by the Delhi High Court and Jadeja was eligible to play domestic and international cricket. The damage was done though, and Jadeja never came close to wearing the India cap again.
Jadeja came back to competitive cricket and captained Rajasthan in the domestic circles. He also found a glamorous profession in television and went on to act in a handful of films. Jadeja is now an expert analyst on the game and hogs the limelight as one of the saner voices of the game.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Cricinfo overview
An exuberant batsman, and an incorrigible charmer off the field, Ajay Jadeja entered international cricket with an infectious effervescence that won hearts and matches - but left behind an eerie trail of bookmaker connections and unanswered questions. A protégé of Kapil Dev, Jadeja's natural athleticism, energetic running between wickets, audacious big-hitting and winning smile were made for the floodlit age. His bustling, street-smart batsmanship in the middle and closing overs swung many one-dayers India's way, none more emphatically than the 1996 World Cup quarter-final against Pakistan, when he blasted 45 off 25 balls. But his obvious vulnerability against genuine pace and swing restricted his Test appearances to 15, and his career was halted in December 2000 by a five-year ban following damaging, though inconclusive, findings in a CBI inquiry on match-fixing. While Jadeja contested the ban, he found an even more glamorous vocation meanwhile: acting. In November 2004 his plea seeking permission to play international cricket was dismissed by the Delhi High Court after no one appeared on his behalf when the petition was taken up for hearing. However, a Division Bench subsequently permitted him to play domestic cricket and Jadeja returned to Delhi, where he was made captain. In September 2005 he took on a double role as captain and coach of Rajasthan. He also dabbles in cricket commentary.
