3 Indian players that will play a key role in the series against Australia

#3 Ravindra Jadeja

Ravindra Jadeja

After the Test match at Southampton where Ravichandran Ashwin looked highly ineffective, the Indian team management picked Jadeja for the next Test. He has been a regular since then, scoring runs and picking up wickets at crucial intervals, and his fielding has always been high class.

Moreover, Hardik Pandya is out injured and in his absence Jadeja becomes the only all round option available.

The bouncy Australian tracks should suit his kind of bowling and with many right-handers in the Australian line-up, he can certainly be a handful. Also, Indian tail-enders don't often contribute much with the bat, which puts additional responsibility on him to score runs whenever there is an opportunity.

An in-form Jadeja can be a huge asset to India regardless of the format, and his performances in Australia will be of special importance.
