3 unlucky players who were not picked in India's ODI squad

1. Ravindra Jadeja

A senior all-rounder like Ravindra Jadeja, if continued to be kept out of the squad, does not put the team in a great light. While the selectors have said that an experienced player like Jadeja can always be brought in the team and they want to test fresh faces, lack of match time and directly being put under the pump isn't something every player can shine in.

Jadeja last played an ODI against New Zealand in January 2026. Since 2025, the star cricketer has scored runs at an average of 53.00 for the Men in Blue while also picking 12 wickets. He might not have been as impressive as ever, but he has the clutch factor in him, which has won matches for the team time and again. Continued ignorance may lead to a fading out of Jadeja, eventually ending in a disrespectful exit.
