352 bowling average: Ravindra Jadeja endures nightmare ODI run

Ravindra Jadeja experienced a difficult return to the ODI squad during the opening match against the West Indies at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. The veteran all-rounder failed to secure a wicket across his ten overs while conceding fifty-four runs, extending a difficult stretch that leaves him with just a single dismissal from his previous seven appearances in the fifty-over format.

This recent slump has pushed his bowling average during this span to an alarming three hundred and fifty-two, raising fresh questions about his place in the side amidst strong competition from Axar Patel and Washington Sundar. Batting coach Sitanshu Kotak noted that he played no role in the selection process for the veteran player while offering his backing, emphasizing the cricketer's extensive experience, elite fielding abilities, and overall utility to the team.

Meanwhile, the opposing lineup managed to post a total of two hundred and ninety-five runs in their allotted overs, fueled by a hundred from Justin Greaves alongside contributions from Roston Chase and Amir Jangoo, while Kuldeep Yadav claimed four wickets for the bowling side.
