The year 2018 has seen the resurgence of Ravindra Jadeja in the limited overs format.

After being dropped from the ODI team in 2017, he was recalled when an injury-struck Hardik Pandya was rested for the 2018 Asia Cup. Jadeja grabbed the opportunity with both hands and performed brilliantly in the tournament. He was also adjudged Player of the Match against Bangladesh, which happened to be his comeback game.

Jadeja is a live-wire in the field, and now has become a more mature and responsible batsman who knows the price of his wicket. He is definitely in contention for the World Cup 2019 and would give captain Virat Kohli a good option of a left-handed experienced player in the lower order who can bowl out a few overs too.
