TNAmarkFrmIndia Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) India's middle order batsmen have been struggling as of late, especially Yuvraj and Raina, both who used to be integral components of our limited overs sides but have been found out with the short ball and are now failing more often than not. Could it be the right time to try out someone like Kedar Jadhav? Here's a guy who has batted most of his domestic career at No. 4 or 5, has been the top scorer in the Ranji season so far, scoring 1074 runs at 89.50 and a strike rate of 79.91 and has a List A record of 1738 runs in 43 innings at an average of 51.11 and a strike rate of 106.36. Has been in great form as of late and has caught the selectors' eye, being included in the 30-man probables for the ICC T20 World Cup in Bangladesh. Edited January 22, 2017 by TNAmarkFrmIndia
kubrickian Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 He has scored heavily in List A but that's in Indian conditions and we cant be sure if he will do well on pitches where there is more bounce and pace. Has he played any A tours and how did he do there ? Other batsmen who have done well in List A are Ishank Jaggi and Pujara.
SLICKR392 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Would make a good #4 or replacing Raina at #5. Hopefully Yuvi comes good before the WC.
JaFanatic Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Him Pujara are the only indian batsmen to average over 50 in both FC and List A
Lord Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 He has scored heavily in List A but that's in Indian conditions and we cant be sure if he will do well on pitches where there is more bounce and pace. Has he played any A tours and how did he do there ? Other batsmen who have done well in List A are Ishank Jaggi and Pujara. we won't know until we pick him. looks okay against short stuff atleast better than Raina
Pagalpanti Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Going by how Dhoni and selectors selection process is, he doesn't have a shot unless we are forced to make drastic changes due to poor performances. MS has made it clear anyone who has a shot at World cup needs 60-70 ODI's under his belt. Those stats do warrant a consistent run with A-team though.
Forever Indian Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Needs to play some more matches and a couple of A Tours before getting a place in ODI side.
CoverDrive Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 yes definitely 1000+ runs in Ranji this year at an average of 90 and S/R of 80 he is also very talented - needs chances
SLICKR392 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 pujara pujara pujara Should open. Jadhav could replace Raina and as Rohit can't be dropped as well, he can be slotted at 4.
kaptaan Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Just saw his cricinfo profile averages 50+ in List-A matches at a S/R of 106+ :dance: must be given a chance
Old guy Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 He has improved his technique too this season can be valuable lower order batsman
Trundler27 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 He is a backup wk as well. Akalpit That means he will never get a chance as long as dhobi remains in control :winky:
Old guy Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 That means he will never get a chance as long as dhobi remains in control :winky: His stats are good enough for batsman
