India vs West Indies | 1st Test | Ahmedabad | October 2-6 | Match Discussion

Sai Sudarshan maybe talented but he struggled in tests in England as well.

What makes selectors think that Tilak Verma cannot be successful in tests? He is not a hack. Has a good all round game. I would have given him a chance.

India will go through the process.

Ravi jadeja -100!
Go ya Kathiawadi Rajput swordsman!...

Must say in 2025 - tests - his batting has gone up several notches

 

[Ab Fan]

All hail Jadeja!

Inshallah, Ravindra Jadeja will continue his prolific run with the bat. I want to see him get to 400 wickets and 5000 test runs over his career.

I think it's been said before but at home, Jadeja is a cheat code of a player.

Over the last 5 years, he has a batting average of 40 and bowling average of 20. Throw in the fielding and we're essentially playing two and half cricketers. It's tough for oppositions to line up 11 vs 12.5.

Abroad he more or less has become a high quality lower order batter who can turn his arm over. Batting average of 49. Bowling average of 41.

He did the same for his first 50. His father is a military guy.

Jurel should be tried at no. 3 instead of useless Sai Sudarshan.

Jurel also scored a match winning 90* in the 4th innings vs England last year at Dharamshala.

Maybe he is not aware of 6-0.

Maybe he is not aware of 6-0.

No he is aware of 0-93000 in 1971 as his dad was in military

Jadeja is having a real purple patch as a batsman

Number 3 is a tough position to bat at. He is better suited at current position

It's 3 or 6 though

1, 2 - Rahul, Jaiswal and 4,5 Gill, Pant are locked down. 6 won't always be available since we might choose to play the extra bowler like in this game.

I think he does seem to have the technique to bat at 3 especially at home. Away, we'll have to see.
