Since the last few years, a wrist spinner's and death bowler's presence in any ODI team has played a huge role in restricting the opposition batting unit. Players such as Adil Rashid, Shadab Khan, Adam Zampa and Imran Tahir have all earned a massive status with their team while India's contingent also has a great presence in Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav.

However, India's pressing issue is the form of Kuldeep Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar. With flat pitches expected at this World Cup, Jadeja’s experience could come to the fore during tough situations.

Ever since his comeback to the one day team in 2018, he has picked up 19 wickets in 15 ODI cricket at an excellent economy of 4.77. His ability to tie up a loose end could also help the other bowlers in picking up wickets.
