Ranji Trophy: Gill Faces Jadeja in Elite Contest
20 Jan
Summary
- Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja will play in the Ranji Trophy match.
- Jadeja's recent ODI performance shows only one wicket in his last six matches.
- A former teammate speculated this could be Jadeja's final ODI for India.
Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill, alongside veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, will participate in the Ranji Trophy match between Punjab and Saurashtra, scheduled to take place in Rajkot from January 22nd.
Jadeja's recent ODI performances have drawn attention, with the all-rounder managing only one wicket across his last six matches for India. He also conceded 41 runs in six overs during a recent match against New Zealand. His batting contributions have also been minimal, raising questions about his current form.
Speculation about Jadeja's future in ODIs has surfaced, with former teammate Sreevats Goswami suggesting that the ongoing series against New Zealand might mark the end of his 50-over career for India. Goswami noted Jadeja's long-standing contribution as a match-winner.
Despite being preferred over Axar Patel for recent ODI series, Jadeja has not met his usual high standards. His Ranji Trophy performance this season also saw him go wicketless in one match, conceding 78 runs and scoring 36.
