5 Players who deserve a chance at number 7 in the Indian ODI team

5 Players who deserve a chance at number 7 in the Indian ODI team: Ravindra Jadeja the Indian all rounder has two first class triple century against his name, is a left-arm spinner who can bowl the stump to stump line quite consistently and a brilliant fielder with awesome athleticism. He was identified by legendary Shane Warne during his stint with the Rajasthan Royals as someone with some serious talent and temperament capable of donning the responsibility of a dependable all rounder for the Indian side. He has been the main stay all rounder of the Indian side for quite a few years.

But of late, his performances have dipped markedly and the recent humiliating series loss against Bangladesh probably signals that its time the management looks beyond him and checks for other more viable options in the ranks. There was never any doubt over his talent, but it is the temperament and his inconsistency that made everyone skeptical about his place in the team. He proved to be a nostrum, showing moments of brilliance, but never that consistent all-rounder that India was looking for good enough to sustain his prowess in the elite league. Ravindra Jadeja’s future in the team is a subject of recondite nature, but many presuppose that he might be dropped for the subsequent tours.

We at CricTracker tried picking 5 Players who deserve a chance at number 7 in the Indian ODI team

1. Axar Patel:

The 21 year old bowling all rounder from Gujarat has been a successful left-arm spinner in the domestic league and has a batting average of 42 in his first class career. Axar was one of the main reasons why Indian under-23 team won the ACC emerging teams cup in 2013. He has played 14 internationals for India. While it is true that Axar Patel didn’t really impress in the limited opportunities he got, the salutary experiences he got may well shape him as someone for the future. A handy lower middle order batsman and a canny spinner with noteworthy guile and appreciable craft, he may well be the all rounder that India have been seeking for.
