South Africa vs India 2018: 5 players who need to prove themselves on the ODI leg

#5) Kedar Jadhav

Jadhav will be making a comeback

Kedar Jadhav made his debut for the Indian team in 2014 but he hasn't yet been able to secure a spot in the team. He played the role of a finisher in the team and has been reasonably successful.

The 32-year-old has a decent record in ODIs, scoring 797 runs in 37 matches at an impressive average of 42. He has two centuries and three half-centuries to his name.

Jadhav scored his first century in Zimbabwe when India had sent a second string team to face the side. He got his next opportunity only in 2016 in the New Zealand series where he performed decently. He began 2017 by scoring a century against the England team and had a great series against them scoring another 90 in the final match of the series.

Jadhav though has had a poor 2017 since then, scoring just 329 runs in 15 innings at an average of 29. He had missed a great opportunity to secure his spot last year and now has to contend a number of young players who are knocking the doors. He may get one or two games to get back his form and he has to use it to the best of his abilities to get back to the Indian team.
