Along with showing amazing in batting, Jadeja has also contributed with the ball. He has taken 7 wickets in four Tests so far. However, Bangar believes that his bowling is an additional advantage at this time, the main responsibility has now joined his bat.
Delhi: India’s all -rounder Ravindra Jadeja has batted tremendously in the ongoing Test series against England. He has scored 454 runs in 8 innings so far and his average has been 113.50. During this time, he has also scored a century and four half -centuries. His century in the Manchester Test was important in removing India from a difficult situation and drawing a match.
India can use Jadeja as a batsman
Former Indian batting coach Sanjay Bangar believes that Jadeja can be included in the team as a complete batsman in view of the current form. He said that “If Jadeja has scored around 500 runs and has played 900 balls, then his bowling can be considered a bonus at this time. He can play like a batsman in this team and can bat at number 5.”
Also played a role in bowling
Along with showing amazing in batting, Jadeja has also contributed with the ball. He has taken 7 wickets in four Tests so far. However, Bangar believes that his bowling is an additional advantage at this time, the main responsibility has now joined his bat.
Kuldeep Yadav can get a chance
Regarding the last Test match, Bangar said that India should give Kuldeep Yadav a chance. He said that in the absence of Rishabh Pant in the fifth Test against England, Dhruv Jurlel will take the responsibility of wicketkeeping. Also, Washington Sundar scored a century in the last match, so India does not need an additional batsman.
Spinners get help in oval
Bangar said that the oval pitch helps spinners and most teams descend there with additional spinners. He said, “If Sundar has scored a century by batting at number 5, then the team can feed another spinner. Dhruv Jurlel can be given a chance to bat at number 6 or 7. India needs a wrist spinner, so it would be right to feed Kuldeep.”
The final Test match between India and England will be played from 31 July.
