#2 Kedar Jadhav
Kedar Jadhav is one of the underutilised cricketer for whom the series will matter the most. This can be inferred from the fact that he has been in and out of the team despite performing exceptionally well at the domestic level as well as internationally, whenever given an opportunity.
He first came to the limelight in 2015 when he scored his maiden ODI century against Zimbabwe when an ‘India-A’ team was sent for the tour. India were reeling at 82-4 and Jadhav smashed a sensational century to take his team to a respectfully 276-5 which eventually proved to be match winning.
That innings of his established him as a smart, aggressive and innovative cricketer who could help stabilize the middle order. However, since then he has been out of the team and it is now that he is being sent as the backup wicketkeeper for the upcoming series. Expectations from him will be high this time around too.
