India's 2019 World Cup squad members: Where are they now?
Just a month ahead of the 2023 World Cup, it’s time to know about the players who helped Team India reach the semi-final in the 2019 edition of the distinguished ODI tournament.
7. Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja was a part of India’s 15-member World Cup 2019 squad but the veteran got a chance to feature in India’s playing XI for only two matches. In the last league game against Sri Lanka, captain Kohli included him in the 11-member squad, and grabbing the opportunity with both hands, the veteran all-rounder delivered a thrifty spell of 1/40 in his 10 overs.
Noting his efficiency with the ball against Sri Lanka, the team management continued him in the playing XI in the semi-final game against New Zealand. Playing the knockout match, the veteran removed New Zealand opener Henry Nicholls in the 19th over of the match. While with the bat, his 77-run innings helped the Men in Blue go close to the target of 240 runs.
Jadeja’s name has featured in India’s World Cup 2023 squad and his job will be to bolster India’s spin attack with Kuldeep Yadav. The 34-year-old will also be essential in the batting unit due to his lower-middle-order batting.
