India squad for Australia Test series in 2017: Where are they now?
The last time India hosted Australia for the iconic four-match Test series was back in 2017 and the Men in Blue grabbed the bragging rights, clinching the series 2-1.
12. Jayant Yadav
Having made his international debut in October 2016, Jayant Yadav was at a nascent stage of his international career when he was included in the national squad for the four-match series against Australia. However, he got only a single opportunity in the series where he took two wickets.
With Ashwin and Jadeja faring well, Jayant was not able to break into the playing XI on most occasions in the years to follow. Also, with Axar Patel doing exceedingly well for the Men in Blue in the longest format of the game, the off-spinner was pushed back further in the pecking order and was eventually sidelined from India’s Test squad.
Jayant last donned the national colours in March 2022. He has featured in six Tests and bagged 16 scalps. Also, he contributed 248 runs at an average of 31.00. With Kuldeep’s stocks also rising, the chances of the Delhi-born making a comeback to India’s test set-up appears grim. He is still a bankable name in the Indian domestic circuit. Further, the 33-year-old is currently associated with defending champions Gujarat Titans in the IPL.
