Indian cricket team's legendary all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has announced his retirement from T20 cricket. Now with this, he will not be seen in the blue jersey in this format. In such a situation, a player will have to be given a chance in his place, who can contribute to the team with both bat and ball.

Jadeja was such a player who influenced the game not only with the bat and ball but also with his fielding. In such a situation, the Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Jay Shah, has chosen a young player as his replacement.

Ravindra Jadeja said goodbye to T20 cricket after becoming world champion

The star player announced his retirement from this format as soon as he became the world champion.

Actually, India won the title of ICC T20 World Cup 2024 and Jadeja was also present in this team. As soon as India won the World Cup, he announced his retirement.

After the star all-rounder retires from this format, now a young player will be given a chance in his place. In such a situation, it is not going to be easy for Jai Shah as it is almost impossible to replace Jadeja.

Abhishek Sharma will be Ravindra Jadeja's replacement

Abhishek Sharma, a young player who wreaked havoc with his bat in domestic cricket and IPL 2024, can replace Ravindra Jadeja.

He has surprised everyone with his talent because the strike rate with which he batted in the IPL is unbelievable. He has also been given a place in Team India for the Zimbabwe tour starting from July 6.

Abhishek can contribute to the team with both bat and ball and can help them win the match. In such a situation, Jai Shah would like to give this player full opportunity so that Sharma can emerge as a match winner.

Career record of Abhishek Sharma

If we look at Sharma's statistics in T20 cricket, he has been excellent. He has played a total of 104 T20 matches so far, in which he has scored 2671 runs with an average of 30 and a strike rate of more than 153.

During this, 3 centuries and 16 half-centuries have come from his bat. He has also taken 32 wickets while bowling in 53 innings.

Sharma also scored 484 runs in IPL 2024 and during this his strike rate was also more than 200. However, this season he did not get much chance to bowl and took 2 wickets.
