Ravindra Jadeja can add balance to the side, feels Mohinder Amarnath.

Team India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja wants Bollywood actor, Emraan Hashmi to play his role if ever his biopic is made.

During an exclusive interaction with ESPN Cricinfo, Jadeja revealed his choice of actor for his biopic. Ravindra Jadeja is part of the 18 members Indian squad which is currently in England for the five-match Test series.

However, the spinner did not get picked in the playing XI for the opening Test at Birmingham. Ravichandran Ashwin was the lone spinner in the team when the XI was announced.

Jadeja is expected to play a part later in the series. His all-round record hasn’t been great in conditions outside the subcontinent. Hence, he was not picked for the opening game.

However, given the surfaces in England this time around, he might play an important role as the series progresses. A five-match Test series always tend to provide opportunities to the whole squad. Moreover, Jadeja will be hoping to leave an impression in English conditions.

Jadeja lost his place in the limited-overs series alongside Ravichandran Ashwin ever since the arrival of two wrist spinners, Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav.

However, Jadeja doesn’t possess too many bags of tricks. His consistency of landing the ball in the same area makes him a lethal bowler, especially on subcontinental wickets. Though, given the current wickets in England, Jadeja might well be a feasible option for the rest of the series.

Ravindra Jadeja played his last ODI back in 2017 against the Windies when India had toured the Caribbean for a limited-overs series.

His last Test match came against Afghanistan during the debut of the Asian minnows. He bagged six wickets and was quite impressive bowling in the right channel on a consistent basis.
