Considering the spin-friendly conditions of Indian pitches, it is very likely that Jadeja will walk out in the field as part of the team’s playing 11 in the first test match. Besides Jadeja, the men in the blue team are also likely to have Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel as part of their spin attack in the opening test match.
Jadeja’s forgettable performance in South Africa
Speaking of Jadeja’s recent test performance, the left-arm Orthodox spinner was last seen in action during India vs South Africa’s second test match that was played in Cape Town’s Newlands cricket stadium.
However, during the game, the all-rounder failed to impress with the bat as he failed to score even a single run and was dismissed by Lungi Ngidi after facing just two deliveries. Additionally, Skipper Rohit also didn’t provide him a chance to bowl as the match ended in merely two days with India emerging victorious by a margin of 6 wickets.
