Star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is yet to make a comeback as he is not recovered from his injury. Keeping this in mind, the Indian Cricket Board can go with some new options as India already have R. Ashwin, Axar Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav as three spin specialists.

So, we will take a look at three players who can replace the no.1 ranked Test all-rounder in the world.

1. Suryakumar Yadav

It is being heard that Suryakumar Yadav will be replacing Jadeja for the Bangladesh Test series. Suryakumar is in a red-hot form currently in white-ball cricket and utilizing his brilliance in red-ball cricket can be a good idea for the Indian team. Indian Test Cricket needs some fearless batsman who can keep the scoreboard running. So, it can be a good time to hand Suryakumar his Test debut.

2. Washington Sundar

The talented allrounder from Tamil Nadu, Washington Sundar, displayed his brilliance at the Gabba in January 2021. The 23-year-old went on to score 62 runs on his Test debut, which helped India come storming back into the fourth Test against Australia. Overall, Sundar registered the third-highest score for an Indian debutant batting at number seven. But injuries kept him away from the game and he lost his spot from the team. He can be a good replacement for Ravichandran Jadeja as he can bat at a good pace as well.

3. Hanuma Vihari

Hanuma Vihari is also one of the players who can replace Ravindra Jadeja for the Bangladesh Test Series. It was a surprise that Vihari did not find a place in the Indian Test Team for the game against England at Edgbaston in July. He was seen as India’s number three for the future. However, Cheteshwar Pujara is back in the squad, and the likes of Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer will also compete for a spot in the middle order. Vihari is someone who can also give a few overs with the ball. Therefore, he can be a decent replacement for Jadeja in the middle.
