New Zealand vs India 2019: 7 milestones that can be achieved in the ODI series

#3 Kedar Jadhav playing his 50th ODI and crossing 1000 ODI runs

Kedar Jadhav

Kedar Jadhav has been a useful cricketer for India in his short career. Though primarily a batsman, he was given a fresh lease of life by MS Dhoni when he was asked to bowl in an ODI against New Zealand held in India.

Thus, India found a new partnership breaker in Kedhar Jadhav who has not bowled even in first-class matches for his state Ranji team till then. Injuries have kept him out action for the most part of last year, but he is back and he is in good form.

Kedar played a crucial hand with MS Dhoni in helping India clinch the three-match series 2-1 against the Aussies. This will take him a long way forward as far his chances at the world cup is concerned.

Given the way that Kedar Jadhav played in the last ODI, he is certain to make his 50th ODI appearance for the country, and also has a chance to complete 1000 runs in his ODI career. So far he has scored 945 runs in 32 innings at an average of 45 with two tons.
