His gaze turned to the active cricketer. He flew around the pitch with ease on his feet, threw with precision, and bowled with majesty and rhythm.
His Sridharan Sharath, a former domestic batting giant and now a domestic selector, followed Ravindra Jadejas every move during his Saurashtra vs. Tamil Nadu Ranji duel in Chepauk.
“For now Jadeja is in good shape. But we have to check his fitness for four days,” Sharath said in a freewheeling exclusive chat with Sportsstar.
The left-handed all-rounder is included in his squad for his first two Tests of the upcoming series against Australia, subject to fitness. Sharath praised Jadeja’s pioneering skills as a ball, racket, and outfielder.
He found the spin to be India’s key weapon against Australia. “There are weirdos,” said Sharath.
When asked about R. Ashwin, Shalath said, “To me, Ashwin is a legend. He is the winner of the match in all variations. “
Sharath added:
Sharath also appreciated Axar Patel’s accurate bowling and convenient hitting.
Commenting on India’s pace attack, Sharath said: It has the pace, momentum and versatility to hurt the Australian line-up.
Asked about India’s influence, Sharath said: “Kohli is still the winner of the game. The Cheteshwar Pujara brings stability to your strikes. Rohit Sharma is a great leader and a great brawler. Shreyas Iyer was consistent. Shubhman Gill and K.L. Rahul have real talent.
Asked about the absence of Sarfaraz Khan, who was absent despite being prolific in domestic cricket, Sharath said: “He is certainly on our radar. He will get justice in time. When choosing a team, you need to consider things like composition and balance. ”
Sharath wished his injured Rishabh Pant a speedy recovery, adding that it was a chance for Srikar Bharat and Ishan Kishan to seize the opportunity.
Regarding this situation (the absence of Punt), Sharath said: He has a variety of shots to destabilize his attacks. Let’s not forget he has over 5000 runs in first class. ”
Commenting on the young talent in his home circle, Sharas said: They combine talent and numbers. ”
Sharath expected the test series in India and Australia to be hotly contested. “Australia is a tough and competitive team.”
Finally, Mr. Sharath thanked his BCCI for the opportunity.
