For what reason wasn’t Ravindra Jadeja included in India’s ICC T20 World Cup team? Ravindra Jadeja, a star all-rounder, will not be able to play in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. This is because he got an injury. India’s head coach Rahul Dravid said earlier on September 4, before India’s Super Four match with Pakistan, that Jadeja hurt his knee and would not be able to play in the Asia Cup 2022. Another all-around bowler named Axar Patel was named as his replacement. Team India will miss him a lot at the World Cup in Australia, where they are competing. The team will miss Jadeja’s rocket-like direct throws, left-arm spin, and left-handed batting.
Options for the team
Men in Blue have options like Axar Patel and Rishabh Pant. They can help them keep the left-hand-right-hand combination when they bat. If Axar Patel plays, his left-arm spin will also be useful in Australia. But Jadeja’s performance in 2022 makes him a key member of Team India. The fact that he has always done well with the bat, the ball, and on the field has helped India win a lot. Before he got injured, Jadeja was having a good Asia Cup 2022. In the first game against Pakistan, he scored 35 runs and took significant wickets in his overs. This was enough to win the game. He didn’t bat in the next game against Hong Kong. But he took 1/15 with the ball and fielded really well.
Jadeja’s form
So far in 2022, the star all-rounder is doing well with both the bat and the ball. This year, Jadeja has played in nine T20Is. He also scored 201 runs in eight innings, which is an average of 50.25. In this format, his best score this year is 46*. He has also taken five wickets, with his best being 1/15. On September 6, Jadeja went on Instagram to say that his surgery went well. He stated that he would soon start rehabilitation.
“The surgery was successful. There are many people to thank for their support and involvement – BCCI, my teammates, support staff, physios, doctors and the fans. I will start my rehab soon and try to get back to soon as I can. Thank you to everyone for your kind wishes,” said Jadeja in a post.India’s T20 World Cup Squad: Rohit Sharma (Captain), KL Rahul (vice-captain), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Rishabh Pant (wicket-keeper), Dinesh Karthik (wicket-keeper), Hardik Pandya, R.
