3 players who can be picked as Ravindra Jadeja's backups for India's tour of South Africa

3. Jayant Yadav

The right arm offie from Haryana has a wealth of expertise in domestic cricket. Despite the fact that his last international participation was in 2017, he is a fully competent all-rounder in the longer versions of the game. When he last played in 2016, he hit an important century against England. In four matches, he has scored 228 runs at an average of 45.60.

In domestic cricket, his batting abilities have shined through. In the domestic arena, he has scored a double hundred. He is a talented all-rounder who might be considered a close complement for Ravindra Jadeja. When the surface has some grip, he can provide a lot of spin to the ball.

When the pitches deteriorate, he can be just as dangerous as the rest of the Indian bowlers. He has a very smooth bowling run-up and can take a lot of wickets by exploiting the rough patches on the pitches. Overall, his batting experience and bowling diversity may be quite beneficial, and he can be a good backup to Jadeja in the Indian team.
