3 Players who can replace Ravindra Jadeja in India’s T20I squad

Even though the T20 World Cup 2024 may not have reached the performance level anticipated from Ravindra Jadeja, every true cricket fan would acknowledge his substantial contributions to Indian cricket across all formats, particularly in the shortest format of the game. Mere hours after veterans, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, announced their retirements from T20Is, Jadeja followed suit, declaring his T20I retirement through a heartfelt Instagram post.

As we bid adieu to this cricketing icon, the responsibility now rests on the emerging and promising talents to uphold the legacy and ensure the Indian flag continues to soar proudly.

Let us delve deep into the top three potential options who can fill Ravindra Jadeja’s void in T20 team:

3. Washington Sundar

The towering figure, standing at 6’1” possesses substantial T20 experience, having played 43 T20Is for India since his debut in 2017. He has often been a formidable second fiddle, particularly during bilateral series, consistently delivering impressive performances with both bat and ball when called upon. His proficiency with the new ball is widely known, demonstrated through his consistent line & length regularly in 20-over cricket. Additionally, he is more than a handy batsman, adept at rotating the strike and delivering some meaty blows in the death overs, while also having a dynamism to bat at different positions.
