Not Enough of Him: India Selectors Sent Out Huge Ravindra Jadeja Warning
Although Ravindra Jadeja is a top spin option for the Chennai Super Kings, former Australian cricket team player Tom Moody believes that the all-rounder is not ‘good enough’ to bat at No. 7 for India in the T20 World Cup 2024. Jadeja is one of the most likely selections for the World Cup team, but CSK’s plan to move him up the list hasn’t paid off as of yet. Despite his strike rate of 131.93, he has only managed to score 157 runs in 9 matches thus far. Just because I want the best left-arm spinning option, Jadeja is the one I would take.
He’s the nation’s finest left-arm spinner. He’s not hitting at No. 7 in my eleven. He’s not talented enough, in my opinion, to bat seventh for a World Cup team. His strike rate is evidence of it. “An impact player is required to bat at position seven,” he stated to Star Sports. Participating in the discussion panel, former India star Irfan Pathan expressed similar thoughts, stating that the Rohit Sharma-led team will need to have a suitable finisher in their ranks if they choose to play Jadeja at No. 7.
About the World Cup, this is the thing that really terrifies me. I am concerned because, in terms of top-order batting, we have the T20 World Cup very much figured out. In the intermediate overs, we also almost entirely sorted. A strong finisher is required if Ravindra Jadeja is to be considered the seventh hitter. He clarified that his statistics on the strike rate on an international scale are not particularly impressive. The 15-member Indian cricket team is anticipated to be announced by May 1.
