Gautam Gambhir blamed for Ravindra Jadeja’s shocking omission from India's ODI squad for Australia tour
India have announced their squad for the upcoming white-ball tour to Australia, and veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has been snubbed from the Indian ODI squad. Fans have been infuriated, as his snub came on the same day when he was adjudged as the player of the match in the first Test against the West Indies.
A day of contrasting emotions for Ravindra Jadeja. The spinner picked 4 wickets to back his century, which earned him a player of the match award, but he was dropped from India's 50-over squad. Instead, Washington Sundar has been picked in his position for the upcoming tour to Australia.
Ravindra Jadeja snubbed from the first ODI series under Shubman Gill's leadership
Indian spinner Ravindra Jadeja has been snubbed from the ODI team as the Men in Blue have announced their 15-member squad for the upcoming series against Australia. The series will be played in the Aussie conditions, which might be cited as the major reason for the snub.
Ravindra Jadeja has played stunningly in the longest format of the game. He has been unstoppable in the format, currently sitting second on the list of highest run-getters in this WTC. With 650+ runs, 2 hundreds, and 6 half-centuries, Jadeja has also picked 11 wickets in 6 matches.
He played for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and was a major contributor with the ball, while he also contributed with the bat whenever India needed him to. Despite all, Gautam Gambhir has not considered having him in the side.
Ajit Agarkar confirms Ravindra Jadeja is still in the scheme of things in ODIs
The Indian all-rounder's snub from the Indian ODI squad has already posed many questions on the credibility of the Indian selectors as well as the Indian management. India's chief selector, Ajit Agarkar, has finally opened up on this issue.
The chief selector confirmed that the veteran all-rounder, who has been witness to historic moments in Indian cricket, is still in the scheme of things for ODIs. The all-rounder was part of India's Champions Trophy-winning squad in 2013 as well as in 2025.
Jadeja also retired from the shortest format of the game following India's triumph in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. If Ravindra Jadeja is in scheme of things for the 2027 World Cup, then he would just have the next series against New Zealand to make his comeback.
"People are busy with Rohit and Virat, but Jadeja is not in the ODI team - Fans are disgusted by the decision of the Indian selectors
Biggest News in this entire thing is that Jadeja has been dropped from ODIs https://t.co/r9833u1Bp4

Ravindra Jadeja won the POTM today as he scored a century and took 4 wickets.

But he didn't get select for the Aus ODI tour 🤦♂️
Also he said in the post match interview today that since there was no odi or test matches after the England tour, he was practising hard and training…
End of the road for Jadeja in ODIs? Jadeja appears to have been dropped, though Agarkar insists he’s still part of the plans but honestly, I have my doubts. pic.twitter.com/xm64HK8Q9N

Looks like India has moved on from Jadeja. Very strange, given that his batting is only going up, and the fitness hasn’t declined any bit.

Won’t be surprised if we see Kohli Sharma going soon too.
Why no Jadeja for AUS ODIs man?

He was so good in that Champions Trophy!!! Had become a proper wicket taker.
He should be playing that '27 World Cup ideally!
I don't see how Washington Sundar will do his role down the order.
Also why is Rana still in the team😭
No Jadeja & Shami in Odi squad!!!

Shocked to see Ravindra Jadeja left out of the ODI squad 😔

One of India’s most consistent all-rounders, proven under pressure, and a match-winner with both bat and ball.
Hope the selectors reconsider — experience and balance matter! 🇮🇳#RavindraJadeja #TeamIndia #ODISelection
