Jadeja's ODI Future in Doubt: Ashwin Names Axar Patel as Potential Replacement
- •Ravindra Jadeja's recent ODI performance has been disappointing, failing to take a single wicket and scoring less than 50 runs across three matches.
- •Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin highlighted Jadeja's struggles, stating that Axar Patel is ready to step in as a replacement.
- •Jadeja's poor form includes conceding 56 runs and scoring 4 in Baroda, 44 runs conceded and 27 scored in Rajkot, and 41 runs conceded with 12 scored in Indore.
- •Ashwin noted that Jadeja's batting strike rate against spinners is a concern, and his performance has been subpar since the 2025 Champions Trophy.
- •Ashwin urged Jadeja to experiment more with his game, suggesting he has nothing to lose as a legend, citing his ability to bowl carrom balls in practice but not in matches.
Why It Matters: Ravindra Jadeja faces an uncertain ODI future due to poor form, with Axar Patel poised to replace him.
