Saransh Jain, a 33-year-old all-rounder from Madhya Pradesh, has received his first senior India call-up for the two-Test series against Sri Lanka. His inclusion follows more than a decade of consistent performances in domestic cricket.
Jain's journey has been marked by significant achievements, including winning the Lala Amarnath Award for the best all-rounder in the 2022-23 Ranji Trophy season. He has also shown his mettle in recent times, performing well with both bat and ball for India A against Sri Lanka A in a recent series.
This call-up highlights a different path to the national team, one built on sustained performance and patience rather than solely on youth. Jain's selection for the Sri Lanka Tests, where he provides an additional spin option and batting depth, is a testament to his persistence.
