There is no doubt about the fact that Jaffer is arguably one of the greatest first-class players of all time. He has gone on to replicate his performance in the domestic format also in the Test format, but he has failed to cement his place in the side especially on overseas tours where he has been found wanting in front of express quick bowlers of Australia, South Africa, England and New Zealand.

Jaffer in his brief Test career struck a couple of double centuries which came against West Indies in their territory and arch-rivals Pakistan in New Delhi. The innings against Pakistan was special as India hardly played their neighbors at that time especially in bilateral tours.
