Kedar Jadhav has put positive impacts on India in ODI
Kedar Jadhav made his international cricket debut in late 2014. He has played 73 ODIs and nine T20Is for the national team where the right-handed batsman has scored 1,389 runs (average 42.09) and 122 runs (average 20.33) respectively. Though he last played a T20I in late 2017, he is still active in ODI format.
With the time progress, he has evolved as an effective all-rounder as he is also a handy off-spinner. While he hasn’t bowled in T20I, he has taken 27 ODI wickets. In recent times, he has brought out an unorthodox bowling action. While he was the regular member during the in the ICC Champions Trophy 2017, he also featured in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.
In the Indian Premier League (IPL), Kedar is now serving for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) from 2018 edition. However, due to the coronavirus outbreak, the IPL 2020 has been postponed which was initially scheduled from 29th March to 24th May 2020.
As the coronavirus is dominating the world, the Indian government has decided to go into lockdown like some other suffering countries. Due to the present condition, the future of IPL 2020 is totally uncertain.
