These two old players are sitting in place of young players, Team India is not leaving despite being the age of retirement
Team India: There is no dearth of young talent in Team India. Every season, many new faces emerge from the domestic tournament and IPL, which are ready to prove their ability internationally. But seeing the team selection, the question often arises whether experienced players remain in the team despite their age and falling performance? As long as these players remain in the team, it is difficult for young players to get a chance.
More trust in the name of performance in Team India?
In Team India (Team India), two such experienced players have been continuously part of the team for some time, whose performance is no longer in line with their names, and now after Rohit and Virat’s retirement, the fans are also demanding retirement of both of them.
Of these, all -rounder Ravindra Jadeja is a player of Team India, who has taken 3370 runs and 323 wickets in 80 Tests for India. However, in the last two years, he has scored only 566 runs in 13 Tests.
Jadeja’s bowling has not seen the same edge as before. The average has been around 28, which is significantly below their career figures. He is neither able to take wickets continuously nor is he able to show the effectiveness as before.
This experienced batsman is continuously failing in batting
The second player is KL Rahul, who has been part of the top order of the team, he has scored 3257 runs in 58 Tests, including 8 centuries and 17 half -centuries. Despite the long career, he has not been able to show stability and continuity in Test cricket so far.
But talking about the last two years, he has scored only 510 runs in 10 Tests. Rahul’s average has been 28 and he has been able to score only 4 half -centuries. His last century came in 2023, since then the bat has been calm.
Is the time now of retirement,
When the protests are constantly falling and new talents are knocking on the door, now these players should declare retirement themselves, just like Virat and Rohit, because now new energy and freshness are needed to take the team forward.
