One of the key reasons why India should consider moving on from Ravindra Jadeja is age and the physical demands of international cricket. The veteran all-rounder is currently 38, and maintaining the intensity required in ODIs has become tougher. Jadeja’s decline in his ODI form alongside his advancing age raises concerns about his ability to perform consistently across long series.
As Jadeja retired from the T20Is in 2024, sustaining peak performance in long ODI series is increasingly challenging. However, Ravindra Jadeja can contribute for Team India in Test cricket, where his experience, fielding, and bowling in longer spells remain valuable.
