The chaos in Indian middle order means that the playing eleven must consist of at least 6 proper batsmen. In addition to this, the best Indian bowlers can hardly bat (the likes of Chahal, Burmah). Consequently, the Indian team can not select an extra bowler.

So more often than not, the Indian team goes in with 5 proper bowlers. Yes, the Indian bowling has improved considerably over the last few years. But, even the cricketers of the highest quality can have an off day. This has happened in the last couple of series and the team has failed to find a proper back up on the given day.

This is where Kedar Jadhav can be handy. Often called as the man with the golden arm, Kedar Jadhav, at times has proved to be the difference even with the ball in hand. The right arm off-spinner is more than a handy option, that the captain can turn up to.

In case any main bowler has an off day, Jadhav can be called upon at any stage of the game. Even if there is not such an issue, the captain can still use Kedar Jadhav. Jadhav, with his unusual low arm action, can be used to get in some quick overs. But, this is not all he has to offer. The offie has an amazing habit of picking wickets. Thus, he can also be used as a wicket-taking option.

It will be safe to say that Kedar Jadhav can be the X-factor India needs to win the prized trophy. India requires a dynamic batsman in the middle and a quality extra bowling option. Jadhav can prove to be the solution to both the problems. He can support the top order, play cameos here and there, finish games and can be used as a wicket-taking option in the middle of the innings.
