The first Test of the India-England Test series proved to be a milestone for the careers of many players. Shubman Gill captained the Test match for the first time, while Rishabh Pant scored a century in both innings. Sai Sudarshan's Test career started. Karun Nair's career returned on track after 8 years, while Ravindra Jadeja's difficult times also seem to be starting. There is only one spinner in the Indian playing eleven on foreign tours. In such a situation, Jadeja's place is constantly being challenged. It should not be surprising that it is difficult for Jadeja to maintain his place in the playing eleven and the England tour proves to be his last foreign tour. Just as the Australia tour proved to be for Ravichandran Ashwin a few months ago.
36-year-old Ravindra Jadeja is the most senior member of the current Indian team. The highest wicket-taker and the best all-rounder. But this player failed with both bat and ball in the first Test against England. He scored 11 runs in the first innings and an unbeaten 25 in the second. In bowling, he got a wicket only in the second innings. That too just one. Many experts say that if Kuldeep Yadav had been there in place of Jadeja in the first Test match, the result would have been different.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have retired. Now Ravindra Jadeja is the only player in Team India whose Test career is more than 15 years. Jadeja is also the oldest in the team (36). He also dropped a catch in the first Test match. The pressure on him is increasing. In such a situation, if Jadeja makes a big decision, then one should not be surprised.
Ashwin, who was Ravindra Jadeja's best partner, had probably retired under similar pressure a few months ago. Then Kapil Dev said that it is not right for a player like Ashwin to suddenly retire on a foreign tour. Ravindra Jadeja's fans would like that this does not happen to their favorite player. But if England performs like the first Test match in the rest of the matches, then Jadeja's retirement can be seen.
