World Cup 2019: 5 reasons why Ravindra Jadeja should be in India's playing XI 

#1 Experience

Jadeja was in fine form during the 2013 Champions Trophy

If one was to turn the clock back to the 2013 Champions Trophy triumph, Ravindra Jadeja was one of the major reasons for India’s win. He was the standout player in the finals and made some significant contributions with the bat, ball and on the field throughout the tournament.

The experience of having won a world event in England and having been a part of the Indian team that made the semifinals at the 2015 world cup will be a massive boost for Jadeja, provided he makes the starting XI.

As is the case with Indian teams at global events, the expectations from the fans are immense. With both Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal playing their first World Cup, having someone like Jadeja in the eleven to guide them or take up the onus to put pressure on the opposition might be an extremely important factor - especially in situations when the batsmen are dominating the period of play.
