'India's second most valuable cricketer': Ex-England cricketer points out issues with Rohit Sharma's side

Former England cricketer Michael Atherton asserted that Jadeja is India's second-most valuable cricket player, behind Virat Kohli, and that the all-rounder's injury has revealed any deficiencies in their team.

'India's second most valuable cricketer': Ex-England cricketer points out issues with Rohit Sharma's side

Former England cricketer Michael Atherton has said England has a chance to beat India on their soil in a Test series after 12 years, riding on the back of their 28-run victory in the first Test at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad.

Atherton believes that India would have suffered a "psychological" hit from the loss, particularly considering that they will be without two KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja for the upcoming second Test in Hyderabad, which began on Friday.

Atherton asserts that Jadeja is India's second-most valuable cricket player, behind Virat Kohli, and that the all-rounder's injury has revealed any deficiencies in their team.

“India are 0-1 down and will miss Ravindra Jadeja, who is the second most important player after Virat Kohli. His batting and bowling add value to Team India’s overall combination,” the former England captain pointed out in his column for The Times.

"Washington Sundar, the off-spinning all-rounder who was called into the squad this week, weakens the bowling; Saurabh Kumar, the left-arm all-rounder, weakens the batting, as would Kuldeep Yadav's wrist spin. All the problems lie with India", he added.

Yashasvi Jaiswal was unbeaten on 179 to take India to 336/6 at stumps on the opening day. He added valuable runs with Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Patidar and Axar Patel.
