India threw away the advantage that Ravindra Jadeja provided with his 14th Test five-wicket haul by bowling New Zealand out for 235, with the home side losing three wickets in the last two overs of the opening day to end at 86 for 4, at the Wankhede Stadium here on Friday.
India’s star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja isn’t much worried to miss out on a well-deserved century but the left-arm spinner, currently four wickets away from 300 wickets in Test cricket
This was informed by the cricketer's wife, Rivaba Jadeja, through a post on X.
Navdeep Saini has replaced Siraj in the India B squad, while Gaurav Yadav has been named in place of Malik in the India C squad. Meanwhile, the cricket board hasn’t given any reason for Jadeja’s release nor named any replacement for him.
India pacers Mohammed Siraj and Umran Malik along with all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, have been ruled out of the first round of the 2024-25 Duleep Trophy.
As fans and the cricket ecosystem in India continue to revel in the joy of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 victory, they are also coming to terms with Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja announcing their retirements from the format on a high.
The Prime Minister also praised the cricketer for his enthralling T20 performances during his career.
Jadeja “bid farewell” to the format through a post on his Instagram account. He also confirmed his availability for the other two formats of the game.
He now follows Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli into retiring from T20Is after achieving elusive trophy glory in Barbados, where India became the first team to win the title as an unbeaten side.
Interestingly, he would talk about how it “took some time to get used to England’s attacking but once you get used to it, it becomes easier”. But his overall plan is to return to the “simple” basics, and not try to change too much.
