Whereas there are 3 players also whose selection has been an amazing one. This article contains the list of those 3 players who emerged as the most surprising pick in India’s 2019 World Cup squad.
#3 Ravindra Jadeja
There was a huge debate on the 2 all-rounders’ slots of the Indian squad for the upcoming grand event hosted by England and Wales. However, the selectors picked 3 all-rounders in the team. Along with Hardik Pandya and Vijay Shankar, Ravindra Jadeja got the place in the side as the 3rd all-rounder.
Jadeja has performed well on English pitches but given that the team already has Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal, it is unlikely that Jaddu will make it to the playing XI in the initial matches.
