When one talks about the replacements for MS Dhoni in Tests, among the names that come to mind are Wriddhiman Saha, Naman Ojha etc. But if there is one player, who should be considered in the same bracket, it is Saurashtra’s Sheldon Jackson.

The 29-year-old has been in impressive form in First Class cricket, having scored a hundred in the Duleep Trophy for India Blue in their final group encounter and then scoring a ton in the final as well.

Jackson averages an exceptional 53.62 in his First Class career and has played 40 matches, amassing 2966 runs and strictly on the form that he showed in the Duleep Trophy should consider himself a bit unlucky to have not earned a berth.
