2017 Champions Trophy: 5 Indian middle order batsmen to look out for

#4. Ravindra Jadeja

Jadeja has played some of his finest ODI knocks on seaming pitches

Last edition’s leading wicket-taker Ravindra Jadeja produced a couple of decent performances with the bat as well in CT ‘13, scoring 47 against South Africa, and a crucial 33 in the final against England. Although the all-rounder has lately been known for his exploits with the ball, his performances with the bat in seaming conditions in England have been notable.So far, Jadeja has scored a total of 411 ODI runs on seaming conditions (England and New Zealand) at an average of 68.5, with his highest ODI score of 87 coming in England in 2014. Jadeja’s ability to provide a good finish to the batting has not been forgotten despite his excellence with the ball and the emergence of Hardik Pandya.

Provided the left-hander can continue his good form in seaming conditions, he might rack up a quick fifty or two during the course of the tournament.
