Jesse Ryder's Cricket Journey
Starting International Cricket
On January 30, 2008, Jesse Ryder was picked for New Zealand's Twenty20 and ODI teams. These teams were set to play against England. The selection manager, Richard Hadlee, believed Jesse could give the team a powerful start. He thought Jesse would be a great opening partner with Brendon McCullum.
Key Moments in His Career
Jesse had a great tour in India. He was New Zealand's best batsman in the five ODI matches. He scored 225 runs, averaging 56.25 runs per game. He hit his first ODI century for New Zealand in the third match. In the fifth match, he was named "man of the match" for his all-around performance. He took 3 wickets for 29 runs and scored 63 runs.
His century (105 runs off 72 balls) was the third fastest ODI century for New Zealand at the time. Jesse and Brendon McCullum formed a strong opening partnership. They had two partnerships of over 100 runs in four games. These included 166 runs in the third match and 102 runs in the fourth match.
In the second Test match against India, Jesse Ryder achieved a huge milestone. He scored his first double century, making 201 runs. He and Ross Taylor (who scored 151) made a partnership of 271 runs. This was a new record for the fourth wicket against any country for New Zealand. It was also the fourth highest Test partnership ever for New Zealand. Jesse became the first New Zealander since Nathan Astle to score centuries in two Test matches in a row.
Jesse's role in the 2009 ICC World Twenty20 tournament was short. He scored 31 runs off 12 balls against Scotland. However, he then got an infection and could not play any more games. Aaron Redmond took his place in the team.
Later, during India's first innings, Jesse took an important wicket. He got Indian opener Gautam Gambhir out. Jesse then scored his third Test century, his first outside New Zealand. This happened while New Zealand was trying to catch India's big score of 429 runs. He had a 194-run partnership with Kane Williamson, who was playing his first Test match. Jesse scored 103 runs before being dismissed.
Taking a Break from Cricket
From October 2009 to March 2010, Jesse Ryder was injured and did not play for New Zealand. In April 2010, he played a first-class game for Wellington and scored 103 runs. An elbow injury stopped him from joining the tour to Sri Lanka in August 2010.
On March 8, 2012, Jesse decided to take a break from international cricket. He needed time away due to injuries and other challenges. Even though he was playing well in December 2012, scoring 162 runs, he felt he was not ready to return to international cricket yet.
Coming Back to International Games
Jesse Ryder returned to international cricket when he was chosen for the ODI team. This team was set to play against the West Indies. On January 1, 2014, at the Queenstown Events Centre, Jesse and Corey Anderson broke some records. Anderson scored the fastest ODI hundred at the time, in just 36 balls. He ended up with 131 runs not out, hitting 14 sixes and 6 fours.
Together, Jesse and Corey helped New Zealand set a team record for the most sixes in an ODI innings. Jesse Ryder scored the sixth fastest century, making 104 runs in 46 balls with 5 sixes.
In 2013, he was called back to the New Zealand team for the one-day series against the West Indies. In his first match back, he did not score any runs. However, in the third match at Queenstown, he hit a century off 46 balls. This was in a shorter game of 21 overs. He and Corey Anderson (who hit a world record 100 off 36 balls) added over 200 runs together. New Zealand won the ODI series 4-1 and the T20 series 2–0.
Jesse was also chosen for the New Zealand team to play India in a five-match one-day international series. This series started on January 19, 2014. In this series, Jesse was unable to score more than 20 runs in any of his five innings.
Temporary Suspension from Playing
In August 2013, Jesse Ryder faced a temporary suspension from playing cricket. This was due to a rule violation after a test showed he had two prohibited substances.
Playing for Local Teams
On February 6, 2009, the Royal Challengers Bangalore team bought Jesse Ryder for $US160,000. However, he found it tough during that season. He only scored 56 runs in total and played in just 5 out of 16 games for his team.
In 2013, Jesse moved to the Otago Volts team. He said this move was because of challenges with his teammates at the Wellington Firebirds. This change was good for him. After his temporary suspension, he scored two centuries and two half-centuries between October and December 2013.
Starting in the 2014 English season, Jesse Ryder signed a contract to play for Essex. He took 43 wickets in his first season and 44 wickets in the 2015 season.
In November 2017, he scored his 25th century in first-class cricket. He was batting for Central Districts against Auckland in the 2017–18 Plunket Shield season.
