3 All-rounders who can replace Ravindra Jadeja in Test cricket once he retires

Check out 3 players who can take Ravindra Jadeja's place in the Test side once he retires.

IND vs NZ: Ravindra Jadeja had a poor outing with the bat in the ongoing IND vs NZ 1st Test match. While the senior all-rounder failed to open his account in the first innings of the match, Jadeja could only muster five runs before getting dismissed. Despite his wicket-taking abilities, Jadeja’s batting form sometimes has been a concern for the Indian side. Nonetheless, Ravindra Jadeja remains an integral part of the Test squad for a long time and will look to contribute more for his country till he decides to retire. On that note, let us check out 3 all-rounders who can replace Ravindra Jadeja in Test squad once he decides to hang his shoes.

All-rounders who can replace Ravindra Jadeja in Test squad

Axar Patel

Axar Patel has already filled in for Jadeja several times in Test cricket. However, India’s spin combination of having an off-spinner, a left-arm spinner and a leg-spinner does not allow Patel to be a part of the Indian Test side permanently for now. Once Jadeja retires, Axar can easily take that place. Apart from his spin bowling, Axar has already proven his worth in batting as well.

Manav Suthar

Manav Suthar is quickly making a name for himself. At 22, he has already taken 55 wickets in his last two Ranji seasons. During India’s camp before the Asia Cup and World Cup, Suthar caught the attention of everyone. His action, similar to Sunil Joshi’s, combined with his ability to get drift and turn, made him a tough opponent for India’s top batsmen. He even troubled big names like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the nets. Suthar’s performance has pushed him up the ranks, and he could be a future star for India.

R Sai Kishore

R Sai Kishore has been a consistent performer in domestic cricket. Standing tall at six-foot-three, he uses his height and long fingers to generate spin and overspin. Sai Kishore was a bowler for Tamil Nadu in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and earned an IPL contract with Gujarat Titans.
