Star Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/injured-ravindra-jadeja-ruled-out-of-asia-cup-2022-axar-patel-named-replacement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruled out of the 2022 Asia Cup</a> tournament with a knee injury. This came as a big blow to India, who are preparing for the possible Super-Four clash against Pakistan on Sunday. Jadeja has been in good form with both bat and ball in the UAE so far but now misses the entire tournament due to an injury to his right knee.

The 33-year-old all-rounder scored the joint-highest 35 runs off 29 balls against Pakistan in India's opening clash and conceded only 11 runs in his two-over spell. He didn't get a chance to bat against Hong Kong in the last match but was excellent with the ball with a wicket of Babar Hayat while conceding only 15 runs in four overs. His fielding skills were also on display as he ran out opponent's skipper Nizakat Khan with a sensational throw in the last match.

He will be a big miss for the Indian bowling unit who are already missing star pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel due to injuries. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed that Axar Patel will replace Jadeja in the 15-member sqaud but it will be interesing to see if he gets a chance in the starting eleven in the first Super-Four clash on Sunday.

Three players who can replace Ravindra Jadeja in the starting XI:

The Indian management had named four spin bowlers in their 15-member squad for the 2022 Asia Cup tournament. Yuzvendra Chahal and Jadeja started in both the group matches ahead of Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravi Bishnoi. India played with six bowlers in the opening match with Hardik Pandya bowling all four overs but fielded only five bowlers against Hong Hong.

Indian bowlers struggled for wickets against the comparatively weak <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/fantasy-cricket-tips/dream11-pak-vs-hk-dream11-prediction-fantasy-cricket-tips-playing-xi-updates-pitch-report-injury-updates-for-match-6/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hong Hong</a> side with only five wickets (one from run-out) taken and conceded 150-plus runs as well. Now Jadeja's absence will be a big void to fill but Ashwin can be a direct replacement for the player in the next clash.

Ashwin, 35, was a surpirse inclusion on the West Indies tour, but he proved his fitness and form with three wickets in three matches at an impressive economy rate of 6.66. Many former cricketers named Ashwin in their preferred starting eleven before the start of 2022 Asia Cup. He has taken 64 wickets in 54 T20Is at an average 21.5 and an economy rate of 6.78 so far.

Axar Patel was among the standby players and has been called into the team to replace Jadeja for the remainder of the tournament. He was a surprise absentee from the 15-member squad despite being in sensational form on <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/rario/rario-carnival-champions-and-legends-pack-drop-5-dwayne-bravo-records-that-you-didnt-know-about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">West Indies</a> and Zimbabwe tours.&nbsp;

The 28-year-old left-arm spinner took five wickets in just two T20I matches against West Indies and continued that momentum on Zimbabwe ODI tour with six wickets in three matches at an impressive economy rate of 3.02. He has maintained an economy rate of 7.33 in 24 T20I innings but has always found difficult to cement his place in the starting eleven.

Axar's abilty to finish the game is another positive aspect for him being the direct replacement for Jadeja in the starting eleven. But the question remains that whether India need another finisher or a specialist bowler in this tournament. Axar can offer both and fans will not be surprised seeing his name in the starting eleven in Sunday's clash.

The 27-year-old batter is creating highlights whenever he is getting chances in the starting eleven. But once again he failed to make the eleven in the last two matches in the Asia Cup. India started with <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/hardik-pandya-is-an-invaluable-asset-for-indian-team-in-current-form-wasim-jaffer/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hardik Pandya</a> and Dinesh Karthik in finisher's role against Pakistan and with Pant and Karthik in the last match against Hong Kong. But now Jadeja out injured, Hooda is in prime position to make his Asia Cup debut on Sunday.

Hooda has scored 274 in just nine T20I matches at an impressive average of 54.8 and a strike rate of 161.17 so far. He has proved his game-finishing skills on many occasions and his ability to bowl makes him an ideal replacement of Jadeja.

If Hooda replaces Jadeja in the starting eleven then Hardik can be used as primary bowler. But Indian batting lineup is looking strong with the return of Virat Kohli, who is leading the scoring charts in the tournament with 94 runs in two matches. Chahal has failed to take any wickets and Avesh Khan is struggling for consistency in the UAE so far. So, the Indian management is likely to replace Jadeja with a specialist spinner.
