“You can’t say that no one can take his place” – Ravindra Jadeja on Ravichandran Ashwin

With the 36-year-old’s longtime teammate Ravichandran Ashwin retiring from the international arena, Jadeja recalled how they used to exchange messages and plan for batters for a long time. However, he believes Indian cricket has enormous depth to fill Ashwin’s void.

“He was my on-field mentor, and we played together for a long time. There was a bond between us, and we regularly shared messages about the conditions in a particular match. We had a discussion about the shots a batter could play and what we should be doing against him. I am going to miss all these things. I hope Indian cricket gets a better bowler or all-rounder than him. You can’t say that no one can take his place. Everyone goes, and you get the replacement.”India won the first Test in Perth by 295 runs but Australia bounced back to level the series in Adelaide.Ravindra Jadeja Vantara presents Vantarian Rescue Rangers, a captivating carnival adventure that inspires love and compassion for wildlife
