There seems to be some kind of confusion regarding the selection of Kedar Jadhav. Initially, the Indian batsman was not included for the last three ODIs against Windies. Thus, Jadhav had said he had no clue why he was not included despite gaining full fitness. However, MSK Prasad led selection panel said they wanted to give more rest to Kedar Jadhav.

Nevertheless, Kedar Jadhav has finally made the cut into the squad for the final two One-Dayers. Jadhav had suffered a hamstring injury in the final of the Asia Cup against Bangladesh. However, he had guided Men in Blue to victory as the match had gone down to the wire.
Kedar Jadhav finally finds his place in the ODI squad.
In fact, Jadhav had suffered the groin injury in the first match of the Indian Premier League while playing for Chennai Super Kings. Thus, he had missed the whole season for them.
On the other hand, Kedar Jadhav has regained full fitness and he was expected to be included in the ODI squad initially. However, he was surprisingly overlooked.

Nevertheless, Jadhav will tell himself that all is well that ends well as he would be happy to make the cut. In recent times, Kedar Jadhav has delivered the goods with his bowling. Jadhav bowls with a low arm action which makes it difficult for the batsmen to pick him up.
Therefore, he has been making the life difficult for the opposition batsmen. Furthermore, he also gives Virat Kohli the option to run through some overs if one of his bowlers has an off day.
