Team India’s star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was named in the ICC Test Team of the Year 2023 at the ICC awards earlier this year. He was one of only two Indian cricketers to cut, the other being Ravichandran Ashwin. The team, announced by the apex council, was led by Australian skipper Pat Cummins.
Jadeja’s consistent performances in red-ball cricket throughout the year earned him this prestigious recognition. His ability to contribute with the bat and ball has been invaluable for Team India, making him a crucial asset in their Test setup.
Taking to his official Instagram handle on Wednesday, May 29, Jadeja shared pictures showcasing his pride. The images featured Team India’s head coach Rahul Dravid handing him the coveted ICC Test Team of the Year cap. Jadeja captioned the post: “Special cap from a special person,” reflecting his gratitude and joy at receiving the honor from Dravid.
Ravichandran Ashwin, another vital cog in India’s test machinery, joined Jadeja on the elite team. Ashwin’s remarkable skills as a spinner and his crucial contributions with the bat were instrumental in securing his spot in the team.
Including Jadeja and Ashwin in the ICC Test Team of the Year 2023 highlights their exceptional performances and underscores their importance in the global cricketing landscape. Their recognition is a testament to their hard work, dedication, and consistent excellence in the game’s longest format.
Jadeja and Ashwin’s presence in the team not only brings pride to Indian cricket but also inspires young cricketers aspiring to achieve greatness in the sport. Their achievements in the past year have set a high standard and remind them of the heights that can be reached with determination and skill.
