In India, the game of cricket is considered a religion and here cricketers get so much love that they are even given the status of God. This is the reason that in every second house in India, a child dreams of growing up and playing for the Indian cricket team, but unfortunately, very few players are able to fulfill this dream.

Some players work very hard in domestic cricket but despite this they are constantly ignored and today we are going to talk about one such player who has scored more than 6000 runs in domestic cricket and has also taken 400 first-class wickets. Despite this, this player is not even selected for Team India, let alone India A, and now this is the reason why former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has expressed his anger on the selectors by raising his voice in favor of this player.

Yes, we are talking about Jalaj Saxena, who plays for Kerala, who recently made a record of scoring 6000 runs and taking 400 wickets in Ranji Trophy 2024-25. This all-rounder is also the first player to achieve such a feat in Ranji Trophy. Considering such a brilliant achievement and consistent performance in domestic cricket, Bhajji said that at least Jalaj should have been selected for India A.
