India vs Sri Lanka - Akshar Patel replaces Jadeja for 3rd Test Match
The Indian cricket team made history by defeating Sri Lanka by innings and 53 runs in the second match of the three-match Test series. Ravindra Jadeja took 5 wickets in the second innings to be the hero of the match. Jadeja scored 5 wickets in an innings of 9th and also left arm armored for 150 wickets. But they also got a match bane on them.
Team India's main spinner Ravindra Jadeja will not play due to the suspension by the ICC in the third Test match played at Pallakal. In this case, Ravinder Jadeja has been replaced by Akshar Patel in Team India.
The third test starts in Pallikal on 12th August. Akshar Patel was recently busy playing the tri-series with India A team in South Africa. Where Team India defeated South Africa A in the final, the triangular series got its name. Patel hit 7 wickets in 4 matches of this tournament. Obviously that's why he has been given a chance in the team.
Why Ravindra Jadeja Ban for 3rd Test Match?
Ravindra Jadeja had thrown a dangerous throw to Karunaratne during the second innings of Sri Lanka's third day of the Colombo Test. In the 57th over, Jadeja grabbed the ball in his own over and threw him towards Karunaratne, while Karunaratne was present on his own crease. Jadeja was found guilty by the ICC for violation of Code of Conduct 2.2.8 and his 50 percent match fee was deducted and also suspended for a match.
After Jadeja's Ban, Kuldeep Yadav will get a chance in the third Test?
Jadeja has been suspended from the third Test match against Sri Lanka because of his recent negative violation of the code of conduct; his total negative points have been six for the last 24 months
Chance for Kuldeep
In the absence of Jadeja, Chinnaman Kuldeep Yadav can get a chance in the third Test. Kuldeep Yadav has so far played a Test match, a T20 match and five ODIs in international cricket. In his first Test match in Australia in Dharamsala, Yadav had troubled Australian batsmen very much. They took 4 wickets in the first innings.
Puzzle can be made for Sri Lankan batsmen, given the Kuldeep Pallakal's pitch, Virat Kohli can replace KOJ to replace the left-handed left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav in the third Test. Kuldeep Yadav's bowled ball can disturb Sri Lankan batsmen. Sri Lankan batsmen have not played Kuldeep Yadav yet. In this context, Yadav can become a puzzle for him in the third match.
