At the end of the game of Day 2, after missing a well -worthy hundred in Ravindra Jadeja Edgbaston, he was questioned about the selection of Kuldeep Yadav for Indian Sports 11.
Ravindra Jadeja said that any player is beyond his control, but also praised Kuldeep’s influence on the game. He said that Kuldeep can be an option to take a wicket whenever he is put in 11 games.
“I am beyond your control. What I can say is that when he plays, it will be a wicket -taking option. Late, we are spending a lot of time on the field, we don’t talk much about the game,” Ravindra Jadeja commented on the question on Kuldeep Yadav.

Washington Sundar has made significant impact with the bat after being raised on Kuldeep Yadav
India has made a significant increase in the longest format of the game, as Shubman Gill contributed to 376 runs after the first 5 wicket collapse, despite the loss of early wickets on days 1.
First, Gill succeeded in working on a major participation of 200+ runs with veteran all -rounder Ravindra Jadeja, while he supported Washington Sundar next time with a 144 -run partnership.
Sundar batted and scored 42 runs in the order, and most importantly he played 103 balls, giving India some relief from the huge decline in the leads. Washington Sundar proved why he was selected on Kuldeep Yadav for a second test.
Ravindra Jadeja has a significant impact with the bat in Test cricket
If someone thought about why Ravindra Jadeja is always India’s first preference spinner from the Test, then the answer will easily affect it with the bat.
Jadeja, who now has 3406 runs with bat for India, comes to reduce the order. 7 or not. 8 and about 35 in average tests. For a batsman below the order, this is an extraordinary batting record.
Also, seeing his unique statistics of 324 wickets in the longest format of the game, it is the fifth most wicket -taking wicket for India in the longest format of the game.
Jadeja scored 89 runs in the Edgbaston Test, as he made a firm for the sixth wicket with Shubman Gill on 200+ run partnership, which helped India to make a big jump that helped him to lay the foundation for his 587 runs.

Shubman Gill had earlier clarified why Kuldeep Yadav was not chosen in Edgbaston
Before the start of India vs England in Edgbaston, Indian captain Shubman Gill mentioned that despite repeated greed to choose Kuldeep Yadav for the second test, the management decided to take otherwise.
Indian management was stubborn with his plan to strengthen the lower order batting and so Washington Sundar was included as Shardul Thakur’s replacement.
Citing the limited role of Shardul with the ball, Nitish Kumar Reddy was brought to Sai Sudhrson to convert to the third all -rounder in 11.
Gill clarified that for now, India is looking to avoid batting collapse, and Washington Sundar fits more role than Kuldeep Yadav.
It proved to be effective as beautiful, with skipper Gill, batted completely for a 144 -run partnership for the 7th wicket.
