After the crushing defeat at the hands of Australia in the Border-Gavaskar series, the place of many senior players of the Indian team in the Test team seems uncertain. This includes names ranging from Virat Kohli to Rohit Sharma. But now the team’s star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has surprised everyone by posting a post on social media. In the post shared by Jadeja on social media, he posted a picture of the back side of the Test jersey. ‘8’ is written on his T-shirt.
Fans are speculating that he is planning to retire from Test cricket
Seeing this post of his, fans are guessing that he has planned to retire from Test cricket. If this happens, then the Sydney Test played against the Kangaroo team will prove to be the last Test match of his career. After winning the T20 World Cup last year, Jadeja has announced his retirement from T20 International.
Jadeja played three matches in Border-Gavaskar Trophy
Questions have been raised on the performance of 36 year old Jadeja for some time. According to reports, the BCCI selection committee is looking for his replacement. Jadeja was overlooked as a bowler in the recently concluded Border Gavaskar Trophy, where he got a chance to play only three out of five matches.
India last won the Champions Trophy in 2013
A source said, ‘It all depends on when the selectors decide that a change is needed. They will discuss whether they want to go with a safer option in the form of Jadeja or move on for now. He is also finding it difficult to perform well in Test cricket, although his bowling has been steady.
Last time India lost in the final
There may be some delay in the announcement of the team for the Champions Trophy, it remains to be seen what decision the BCCI think tank takes in this regard. India last won the Champions Trophy in 2013, losing to Pakistan in the final in 2017.
