Ravindra Jadeja has often been considered India’s MVP. The man can bat, bowl, and is a livewire in the field. One can call him a complete cricketer. But then, his performance wasn’t the best in the England first Test, that India lost by five wickets. Couldn’t chip in with the bat, and was ordinary with the ball. In that case, does the team really need him in the series?
Ravindra Jadeja Ineffective in England
Former Aussie keeper questioned Jaddu’s place as the lead spinner in the team. He went on to say, that Ravindra Jadeja is effective in Indian conditions, but then, in SENA countries, he might not be the best option. “Are we seeing the decline of Ravindra Jadeja? I mean yes, he is effective in Indian conditions and how hard it is to play left-arm spin in India, but I don’t think he is the best option to have in the team spin wise,” Haddin said on the Willow Talk podcast.
Brad Haddin Wants Kuldeep Yadav
Haddin added that if India considers to play him as a second spinner, then he warrants a place. “I don’t think Jadeja can be effective. Yes, he is good all-rounder and he could play as a second spinner – hold at the other end. But I think they need to be more attacking, be willing to lose a Test match with some inexperienced bowlers but change their mindset at the way they go about it,” Haddin added.
Nitish Kumar Reddy an Option?
“I would look at Kuldeep. Someone who is an attacking spinner, who can get wickets. You’ve got a couple of hold-in bowlers. Siraj can play that role, but I think they need to be a bit more bold in their selection of bowlers,” he said. Furthermore, he said that if India picks Nitish Kumar Reddy, then they don’t have to play Jadeja.
“If Reddy plays, then you don’t have to play Jadeja and bring the attacking spin option. I think that’s one thing they’ve got to look at, especially away from home,” he added.
