Lucknow. No player is untouchable in the Indian cricket team. Whether it is senior or junior, who will play well, he will make it to the playing XI. In such a situation, experienced players like Ravindra Jadeja are also seen under pressure. Jadeja’s batting in the second Test match being played in Edgbaston has raised some expectations, but if he is completely flopped here, he is considered to be out of the team.
Jadeja is silent with the bat for a long time
Jadeja’s last half -century came in the Brisbane Test against Australia, where he scored 77 runs. Since then, they have been shrinking in small innings. His contribution with the bat is continuously falling, due to which his utility in the team is being questioned.
A ray of hope in Edgbaston Test
When Team India needed stability in the Birmingham Test, Jadeja took the front while scoring 41 runs in the first innings. If they stand at the crease on the second day, then at least half -century is certain. But the question is not about half -century, but of a big innings. A century is being expected from Jadeja in the situation in which India is currently so that the team can be taken above 400 in the first innings.
Performance in bowling weak
Not only batting, Jadeja’s performance in bowling is also fading a lot in the recent Test. In the first Test match, he did not take a single wicket by spending 68 runs in the first innings, while in the second innings he took just one wicket for 104 runs. As an all -rounder, his role is double, the bat with the bat and the ball wicket. But if they fail in both departments, the selectors will have a concrete reason for dropping them.
Can this test prove to be the last chance?
This Test match is considered a ‘do or die’ match for Jadeja. Team India is now running on the policy of “selection based on the form”, where more importance than the old record is being given to the current performance. In such a situation, if Jadeja does not leave an impact from both bat and ball in this Test, then he can be replaced by a young all -rounder in the upcoming matches.
