Kedar Jadhav
Visakhapatnam: When it comes to street smartness, there are few in the current Indian team's limited overs set-up, who can match Kedar Jadhav's on-your-feet thinking. But in recent times Jadhav has been the most under-utilised cricketer, which has led to varied opinions as to whether he is an ideal fit in India's ODI team combination despite averaging 42 plus in 69 games. A piece of statistic shows that Jadhav, who had sustained a hamstring injury in the past, bowled only 24 overs in his last 13 ODI games which is even less than two overs per game.
Worse is that he hasn't got a single wicket and in four of these games, he wasn't even asked to bowl. While batting great VVS Laxman feels that one needs to introspect whether soon-to-be 35 Jadhav is a contender for a place in the squad for the 2023 World Cup, when he will be 38, one of India's finest spinner Harbhajan Singh wants him to bowl more or else there could be a few more viable options at no 6.
