Kedar Jadhav is the kind of player Team India as relied on and yet he has never been given the chance to play to his full potential. In fact while he is hardly used as a bowler, his batting has not been as good in recent times. Nonetheless he has been preferred over those like Manish Pandey and Shivam Dube.?
That is just what happened in the first ODI vs New Zealand when Jadhav was part of the playing eleven while Pandey had to sit out. This was despite the fact that Pandey was instrumental in helping India crush New Zealand 5-0 in the T20Is. Truth be told, it caught people off guard.?
Team India has seen a lot of change as KL Rahul has become a middle order player and also the main keeper. But the persistence that Virat Kohli has with Jadhav has left many wondering,
Needless to say, they were not happy and vented it out on Kohli once the team was announced.?
In Jadhav's last 3 games he made 40, 16* and 9 and bowled just once.
Meanwhile Pandey has scores of of 8*, 14*, 14*, 50* and 11* in his last 5 games.?
In this match Jadhav scored a quick 26 not out in 15 balls. He did not bowl and India lost by 6 wickets.?
