Ravindra Jadeja's ODI Career Over? Ex-Cricketers Divided on All-Rounder's Future

Times of India · sports

Former Indian cricketers Cheteshwar Pujara and Abhishek Nayar have differing opinions on Ravindra Jadeja's future in ODI cricket. Pujara believes Jadeja's recent exclusion from squads, particularly with Axar Patel being the first-choice spinner, signals the end of his ODI career. He suggests the team management may have communicated that Jadeja is now primarily a Test player. However, Nayar sees Jadeja as a crucial backup for Axar Patel, an "insurance policy" for the upcoming World Cup in case of injuries.
