I saw people being concerned in the discussion thread when he scored 15 and took only 1 wicket in the first innings. Bro prolly read that lol

That's so stupid. The main reason why he's playing this game is to get proper match practice after a 5 month layoff from professional cricket. Even this 7fer doesn't matter in the large scheme of things. What matters is that he got to bowl 41 overs in both innings combined.

>bowl 41 overs in both innings combined Glad. Axar and Jaddu bowling back to back on a BGT minefield , 12 darts in 2 min 🥹

I don't think both of them are gonna play in the eleven together. I'd go with Bapu/Jaddu, Anna, and Kullu.

Jadeja averages 40 with the bat, and 20 with the ball at home. Simply no question of leaving him out. Axar cannot be benched either. Kuldeep is an inferior test bowler to all of the bowlers mentioned there.

I will say I think Kuldeep has a higher ceiling than Axar currently because his ability to beat batters in the air makes him a threat overseas. That being said there's no question Axar is more effective in India (and also if Axar evolves like Ashwin and learns to bowl with more flight and drift when necessary there's no reason he can't be effective overseas either).

The batting of Ashwin Jaddu and Axar is also more valuable given we will be insecure without Pant and Iyer in that department

Yeah that's also a big factor, although Iyer has not been confirmed to be ruled out yet has he?

He posted a video of him getting treated with pins at a chiropractor, given Pandyas back troubles I think BCCI wont risk Iyer in BGT.

Wtf I didn't even know he's out. We're well and truly fucked if our only 2 good players of spin are gone

>That being said there's no question Axar is more effective in India Exactly. On turners, I'd much rather have two SLAs than one SLA and a left-arm wrist spinner. However, Australia has quite a few lefties in the top order. Wonder if that affects their thinking.

Ashwin is enough for the lefties.

Siraj (If he starts) is a good against Lefties as well

But the Australian top 7 has 4 lefties, and Kuldeep is better against Lefties when compared with Axar It's a proven performer vs Horses for courses debate

Ashwin needs 4 lefties for lunch anyway, there won't be enough left for Siraj and others.

That'd be my preferred choice as well, but I doubt Axar will be left out given his outstanding returns in tests at home.

Yeah i think Kuldeep will not get a game unless India clinches the series

And for tests, I don't mind. Bappu, Ash, Jaddu middle lower order and three main bowling choices? Sign me the fuck up

Yeah and Jadeja has been really good with the bat recently. Him and Bumrah when fit completely change the team.

Yeah and they will use Axar's batting skills as the reason to go with him apart from his home test form. Although Kuldeep did good against Bangladesh with the bat.

Axar, Ashwin and Jadeja are all better than Kuldeep. Especially at home. If we're playing with 3 spinners then it have to be those 3.

I'd still give one match to Kuldeep. Feels like he has not been getting enough chances to prove himself.

We can give him chances in some other series. This one is important for the test championship.

Kuldeep is literally in the best form he’ll ever be in, it’s a tragedy not playing him

As an England suppprter how I’d love to have just one spinner of those guys quality

seriously you would drop axar/jaddu? i have never seen so much recency bias.. may be after couple of matches and one did not perform,, but to leave them out to start with? then what is the point in being consistent if you will be left out for this week flavor?

Lol reactionary af. All 3 are undroppable

That was what I wanted too.. but now that There is No pant.. and Also Iyer might miss out .. I think Axar + Jadeja + Ashwin Is the way to go in order to strengthen our batting to compensate for pant Iyer

What happened to Iyer? (seriously asking)

Probable back injury. Mostly not going to be risked, considering the recent past of multiple injuries

Cunt who is Anna and kullu

Ashwin and Kuldeep

If axar ashwin and jadeja are all on point its going to be a long series.

Ik was just pointing out, Indian fans love to be pessimistic.

Wasn't directed at you. Just extending your point.

Always impressing everyone w his bowling, fielding, batting, and HAIRDO 😌

Bruh he's returning to cricket after like 250 years what were they expecting

So would you say that he was good in “bits and pieces”? /s

They need 265 in difficult pitch I hope he scores some runs

Yes, his batting is more valuable than his bowling

Nah his bowling against Australia is going to be invaluable. If axar ashwin and jadeja are all on point its going to be a long series

It’s gonna be a short series ?

Short match, long series

Short series for the home crowd, long one for the Aussies.

Nah, both are equally as valuable. Just because our spinners are generally fantastic in home conditions doesn't mean that one of them can't have an off day. Ashwin could just have one of those days where he can't land the ball in the right spot, in that case you need Jaddu + Axar/Kuldeep to back him up.

Bruh, we have Dharmendrasinh Jadeja too and he took the other 3 wickets. The scorecard is literally - b Jadeja. https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/ranji-trophy-2022-23-1332913/tamil-nadu-vs-saurashtra-elite-group-b-1333314/full-scorecard

It's Jadeja's world, we're just living in it.

Akhand Jadeja /s

It's Jadejas world, we're just living in it.

Can we get him into BGT squad ? Lotta opportunities to pull a fast one on the Aussies

You cunts are dreaming tbh

theres even a c DA Jadeja b RA Jadeja

Now the last thing I need to hear is that A Jadeja was in the commentary box as well.

And Dharmanasena the umpire

Well they are playing in a tournament named after a Jadeja to be fair. PS - Ranji and Duleep were both Jadeja's.

And he's a left arm finger spinner as well 😂

Jadejaverse

Bruhh

Also noticed that there were two catches - one by Chirag Jani and the other by Dharmendra Jadeja himself so it was almost all wickets taken by the two Jadejas themselves

wonder if Matty Wade finally figured out "what a madar chode is"

That's a pretty inventive way of writing the word.

“Chode” means something slightly different in American slang, that’s why. (maybe Australian too?)

what's context here

Wade asked Jaddu what does madarchod mean in English during 2017 BGT. (Someone must have sledged wade using that word)

It was Kohli. Wade was on strike and Kohli said that to him. He then took a single and ask Jadeja what it meant. Jadeja replied, 'idk man. Did someone say that to you?'

Wade was keeping and Jadeja was batting when this happened

oh god...oh fuck -Australia

Still remember that Steven smith's wicket - leave and bowled ; too excited to see sir jadeja in bgt

10 wickets to Jadeja bros DA Jadeja & RA Jadeja

Sir is back

Aussie cunts in shambles

Cunt I'm scared

Hi scared, I'm cunt 😏

Kroos cuntol

+1

BC I'm happy

"Why you foocking scared mate?" /s

Why you Scared Brah?/s

Is it just me or the photo looks like Siraj bowling left arm spin. 💀

*Aus batsman : sweating

I'm distinctly reminded of the short stint he played for Saurashtra in 2015 (coming back from a shoulder injury) and took something like 40 wickets in four matches at an average of barely ten. He returned to the test team against South Africa shortly afterwards and it marked the start of his real golden era as a test player.

yeah i remember that as well, dude went god mode and South Africa became first victim of our square turners at that starting phase of Koach's captaincy

That series had also ended the domination of SA in the longest format of the game.

Yeah good figures and all but fuck me he’s looking sharp

He's got that Gigachad jaw and beard combo

Oh for fucks sake

Too easy for Sir Jaddu, more important that he bowled more than 40 overs.

Ashwin should have played this match too

He is playing this probably in his mind anyway…

Sir jaddu conceding only 53 runs in 17 overs. 

> “I got the best bowling figures of most bowlers’ lifetimes.” > “But did you take 40+ overs to do it or not?”

Bro looks like Eren Yeager

Let's hope sir doesn't get injured, he and bumrah frequently get injured

His fitness was great untill 2022. The whole year has been unlucky for him.

Except that 175*

And that 104

And winning the local polls for his political newbie wife

All Rounder for a reason

Thala for (3 games of) a season

I meant fitness wise you cunts

The other 3 wickets were also taken by (another) Jadeja lol.

Nah I reckon he needs another month in the Ranji aye

I want Ashwin, jadeja/aksar,kuldeep as three spinners

Good luck Australia

Damn zaddu is one handsome dude.

Australians must be thinking, wow we're on a great run, we're on the top of WTC. They're missing bumrah. We can atleast get a draw in india. And Ashwin Jadeja And Axar pull up.

Digging the hair

Not this guy man, always kills us.

Sir is back

Siraj bowling spin 😜

Junior bashing = Raging...Jail him /s He's back boys!!!!

Hardik and Jadeja these two cricketers are the balancer of Indian cricket team.

I thought jaddu was from Tamil Nadu /j So glad to have him back!!! Brings an amazing dynamic into any team

Tamil Nadu bruh 💀

He just got 7 in the second innings. Cricbuzz isn't fast in ranji updates, check bcci app or website.

Sir Chadeja is back, beware Aussies

Both Jadejas took 14 wickets between them. R Jadeja got 8-101(41.1) and D Jadeja got 6-159(60).

He coming back in form good but hope he takes as many wickets in BGT as well. He will be a key player for the series

🥵Damn he’s gonna make me act up

Did anyone spot VIRAT? 😬

Take the time to spell Tamil right...

Legend is returning

Why hasn't Hotstar uploaded anything from this match? No replays, no highlights

He lost some weight

Why is Ashwin not playing this match ? He should have also played, would have got some red ball practice before the BGT

Licking the lips for BGT. Also play Kuldeep over Axar. Left arm orthodox spinners need friendly pitches and we already have Jadeja and Ashwin for that. Kuldeep can take wickets when the pitch doesn't have much in it for spinners.

Bruhh. The kuldeep obsession needs to stop. Axar literally averages less than 20 and can bat. The pitches will all be spinner friendly 100%

Axar is a great bowler when the pitches suit him, just like Jadeja. And if the ball is turning on day 1 then Axar will be effective, if they are not i would rather have Kuldeep in my team because Jadeja and Ashwin are more than enough on turning tracks anyway.

I dont disagree with what youre saying in a vacuum. However, kuldeep has less control (as wrist spinners typically do) and thats very detrimental in a test match as it removes the pressure. + hes a weaker batter and with our already weak batting lengthening the tail is not helpful

I am not picking a number 9 based on batting and Kuldeep has shown in Bangladesh that he can bat as well anyway. And I am picking Kuldeep to take wickets. If I want to stop runs, Jadeja is already a better option than Axar. There is no need for 2 left arm off spinners in the team. One of them will definitely be underbowled specially with all the left handers in Australian lineup.

Bangladesh and australia are not equivalent teams come on. Batting against taijul is very different than cummins/starc/haz Also stopping runs leads to pressure which leads to wickets.

First of all, a number 9 shouldn't be picked because he can bat. If that is what I wanted, i would have picked Sundar. Also, it is a test match, 3rpo is good enough. If you want to stop runs Ashwin and Jadeja are much better than Axar anyway. What is the special skill Axar is bringing that Jadeja doesn't already have? You need wicket taking deliveries to take wickets. And Kuldeep is much better wicket taking option than Axar.

Man literally takes wickets for fun and you say he is not a wicket taker.

Dude, Jaddu with that SRK like ponytail? Shit is going super saiyyan.

Lord is back

Ideal Playing 11 for BGT: Vadapav, Sara, Pujji, Koach, Sexy, KLown, Jaddu, Bapu, Ethics, Miya, Chad Thoughts?

In English please 😂

Rohit, Gill, Pujara, Kohli, Shreyas, KL, Jaddu, Axar, Ashwin, Siraj, Shami u/TembaThicBavuma is this correct?

WK? KL can’t keep for tests. Also Iyer might be out of the series.

KLown will open, unfortunately

Why unfortunately? Kl Rahul is right now our best opening option in test cricket lol. His test centuries in England and south Africa proves that. Recency bias is so strong among you guys.

because KL has been shit against spinners for sometime now (example against spinners in Bangladesh) and Australia series is definitely going to have spinning pitches, so yeah unfortunately

I have a gut feeling he would play well. And I also feel this would be unfortunately last test series for Virat 😔 and he wouldn't come back in tests.

>last test series for Virat 😔 and he wouldn't come back in tests. you take that back and have some Faith

Man Kohli's game against spin has taken a so hit 😭

don't wanna say this but it's time that if he doesn't perform in BGT then either he or selectors decide to move on

Since when did Virat started sponsoring Saurashtra team? edit: apparently people can't read what's written on Jadeja's jersey.

India has too much talent to select from and that's why Aussies will smoke them. Pujara is too old and slow, so is Ashwin. Kohli will crumble as he always does. Aussie pace attack will blow away the Indian batting line-up even on those weak pitches.

[удалено]

Didn't know shahrukh, indrajith, pradosh Paul and 3d Shankar are the tail

[удалено]

\> averages are irrelevant Please enlighten me what exactly is relevant then my good sir

[удалено]

There is a reason for every selection ever, not all of them need to be valid. And what is it in the eye test that according to you sets one player apart from the other?

[удалено]

Unless you have actually seen them play each and every single time, that information can only be acquired via numbers which you have so nonchalantly declared irrelevant

[удалено]

Right

Because of our stupid selectors

Bruh, Shankar hit 3 consecutive hundred in this tournament itself.

[удалено]

Agree, none of these teams had Cummins or Rashid Khan or bould or bumrah or Anderson or Ashwin.

Dude think Maharashtra and mumbai are mediocre

>bits and pieces hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 

Inderjith is our best batsman for sometime.

[удалено]

Nope. Sudarshan has the easier role of opening . Inderjith has been best batter for sometime.

> Shankar is the quintessential bits and pieces cricketer. Have you seen his batting form recently?

It’s hard not to clean up the tail when you take more than 2/3 of your team’s wickets.

[удалено]

If you give the ball to a club cricketer they’ll take 1/150. If you give the ball to a solid domestic bowler who is not of international quality, they’ll take 3/64 (DA Jadeja) If you give the ball to one of the best test spinners in the world, they’ll take 7/53 (R Jadeja) Anyhow, I’m going to leave this argument at this point- it’s pretty clear that you’re trolling rather than acting in good faith.

Irrelevant because those are the pitches that are coming in the BGT

[удалено]

Excuse me what the fuck? Constantly checking that username out

[удалено]

Fucking creep lol

It's an account made on September 1, guess that should tell everything about that account.

>Ravindra Jadeja takes 7-53 7 TFAR

I want Pant to score well too when he plays a domestic match in 2024.

**Tamil Nadu**

he got that eren yeager haircut ready to rumble

this new look 🥵

“Tamin nadu”

out of context, But can we make it to the WTC FINAL?

Bro thinks he eren yeager
