Former India player Sanjay Bangar has praised Ravindra Jadeja’s performances in the recently concluded Test series against the West Indies. He also added that Jadeja felt that Rishabh Pant’s absence wasn’t felt as well.

During an interaction on the Star Sports show ‘Follow the Blues,’ Bangar said, “Rishabh Pant wasn’t present with you at No. 5. He didn’t make you feel that Rishabh Pant wasn’t there because of the way he batted at No. 6. He has always been an incredible batter. However, the promotion he is getting now and the chances he is getting to bat, he is taking advantage of them.”

“His record in first-class cricket is incredible. It was just a matter of time before he would have gotten enough opportunities due to which his talent would come to the fore even more. He has batted well on overseas tours at No. 6 and No. 7, and his performance was incredible even on the England tour. So an excellent series for him, where he got the Man of the Series one more time,” Bangar shared.

In the same interaction, Sanjay Bangar also opined about Kuldeep Yadav’s ‘Player of the Match’ performance in the second Test against the West Indies as well.

“These Test matches were played on two different surfaces. One was a red-soil pitch, and when the match happened in Delhi, it was a slightly slow pitch with low bounce, and he had to work hard. He even said that he had to quicken his arm speed a little. He is an unusual kind of spinner. If we look at the Test cricket history, he is the first left-arm wrist-spinner to be so successful in terms of five-wicket hauls. Paul Adams used to bowl like this for South Africa. He would have got confidence in himself that he can bowl 60 overs in a Test and penetratively,” Sanjay Bangar concluded.
