After the crushing defeat from New Zealand, former cricketer Srikanth made a big statement about Ravindra Jadeja, said- the team needs Akshar Patel.

New Delhi. Former Indian cricketer Kris Srikkanth said that India’s star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is not able to decide whether to attack or defend in the 50-over format. He suggested playing three spinners and three pacers and questioned why it was necessary for a bowling all-rounder to be a medium pacer. Srikkanth’s comments come after New Zealand’s seven-wicket win in the second ODI against India in Rajkot on Thursday.

Srikanth appealed to bring back all-rounder Axar Patel in the ODI team. He also praised Patel’s excellent record in the white-ball format. Jadeja is one of my favorite players. But even they don’t know what to do. He too is trapped in two minds. It is impossible to find a replacement for Hardik Pandya. You can’t find. Akshar would have been an ideal candidate for today’s match. Today the sixth bowler was missing. Srikanth said on his YouTube channel Cheeky Chika that Akshar’s record is excellent. He played the Champions Trophy and has performed very well. He won the T20 World Cup for us. He further said that after Washington Sundar’s exit from the New Zealand ODI series, Jadeja is the only spin all-rounder left in the team along with spinner Kuldeep Yadav. Jadeja is struggling with his form in the 50 over format. He failed to take wickets in the first two ODIs against New Zealand and flopped with the bat on both occasions. India will now take the field against New Zealand in the series decider at Holkar Cricket Stadium, Indore on Sunday.
