World Cup 2019: Report card of India's World Cup squad

Kedar Jadhav - 3/10

India v Afghanistan - ICC Cricket World Cup 2019

Matches - 6, Innings - 5, Runs - 80, Average - 40.00, Strike Rate - 80.81

Kedar Jadhav played a match-saving innings for the Men in Blue against Afghanistan but besides that, there was nothing the Maharashtra-born all-rounder could contribute to the team. He scored a fighting half-century versus the Afghans which helped India reach a respectable total. In the game against England, Jadhav's inability to up the run-rate saw his ouster from the team.

It was surprising that Virat Kohli did not make much use of his off-spin. Jadhav bowled only six overs in the six matches he played. Known to be a partnership breaker, Kedar could not deliver the goods for team India in the World Cup.

Ravindra Jadeja - 8/10

India v New Zealand - ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Semi-Final

Matches - 2, Innings - 1, Runs - 77, Wickets - 2

Ravindra Jadeja waited for a long time to get into the Indian playing XI. He turned up as a substitute fielder in every match before the team management decided to include him in the match squad in the final group stage match. Jadeja impressed with his left-arm spin which helped him cement his place for the semifinal encounter.

In the semifinal clash, New Zealand's fast bowlers ran through the Indian batting order as half the side was back in the hut for just 71. However, Ravindra Jadeja valiant knock of 77 runs from just 59 balls, with four fours and four sixes silenced all his critics. Though the left-handed all-rounder could not guide Virat Kohli's men to the final, he established himself as a match-winner for the nation.
