Selectors reportedly rejected both Ravindra Jadeja and Suryakumar Yadav for the ODI series against Sri Lanka because to head coach Gautam Gambhir’s “data-driven approach.”

For Suryakumar Yadav, the unveiling of the Team India lineup for the white-ball tour of Sri Lanka was a bittersweet occasion. The attacking batsman would have been overjoyed to be named the team’s captain in Twenty20 Internationals, but the selectors and new head coach Gautam Gambhir made it clear that they didn’t want him in the ODI team.

While Suryakumar was a member of the Indian team for the 2023 ODI World Cup, he did not live up to the confidence that the selectors placed in him. The 360-degree batter was therefore overlooked.

Choosing a team in ODIs: The ‘Gautam Gambhir Factor’ that Influences Suryakumar Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja

Selectors reportedly rejected both Ravindra Jadeja and Suryakumar Yadav for the ODI series against Sri Lanka because to head coach Gautam Gambhir’s “data-driven approach.”

While Suryakumar was a member of the Indian team for the 2023 ODI World Cup, he did not live up to the confidence that the selectors placed in him. As a result, the 360-degree hitter was passed over for a position in the Indian squad for the island nation’s ODIs.

While Suryakumar is regarded as the best T20 batsman in the world, his 50-over style belies this claim. The Mumbai batter’s average in 37 ODI matches is a pitiful 25.76. Many have questioned his ability to play the patient game and progressively pick up the pace at which runs are scored.

The selectors want to give other players an opportunity because there are only six ODIs left until the ICC Champions Trophy is held the following year.

The Indian Express claims that Sunrisers Hyderabad all-rounder Nitish Reddy’s name is being considered, particularly in light of his three-dimensional skill set. In white-ball cricket, Hardik Pandya continues to be India’s best seam-bowling all-round player, but he is not playing in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. However, he might come back for more assignments.

The ‘Process-Driven’ Approach of Gautam Gambhir

Similar to India’s captain for the One-Day Internationals, Gautam Gambhir, the head coach, is renowned for developing a procedure for choosing players. In this regard, Washington Sundar and Axar Patel have become enticing choices in white-ball cricket. Ravindra Jadeja was therefore passed over.

However, Riyan Parag is one guy who might get a run-in during the Sri Lanka series.

In addition to being a valuable batsman further down the order, Parag can also contribute a few overs. Parag’s all-around abilities have been demonstrated by his continuous performances in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, where he has emerged as one of the most reliable players over the past two seasons.

With Axar and Sundar, two more seasoned players, also on the team, the Assam star may not be the team’s first choice.

India’s ODI team against Sri Lanka is made up of the following players: Arshdeep Singh, Riyan Parag, Axar Patel, Khaleel Ahmed, Harshit Rana, Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Dube, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Washington Sundar, Rohit Sharma, Ϗhubman Gill, vice-captain, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and Rishabh Pant
