For Team India in T20Is Lalit Yadav ‘ready’ to replace Ravindra Jadeja

Lalit Yadav wants to become the premier all-rounder of India in the shortest format of the game, T20Is. With Ravindra Jadeja hanging his boots after the T20 World Cup 2024, one spot is up for grabs. The all-rounder who’s played for the Delhi Capitals and is currently leading the Purani Dilli 6 in the Delhi Premier League T20 hopes to make his India debut and fill the void left by Jadeja.

Lalit said, “Yes, of course, I do see myself in the race for the slot of an all-rounder. To play for India and don its jersey is something that plays on my mind every day; it’s the biggest motivation for me.”

However in the inaugural season of the DPL, his performance has been underwhelming. He also said, “I am not satisfied with it; I am very hungry for the next few games, and I would count this as an average performance.”

While concluding his statement he said, “Naturally, if I perform better people will develop their thought processes and observation. I just pay attention to the things that are within my control and the rest I cannot control there is nothing I can do about that. I learnt new things from this tournament (DPL), like never to give up no matter what, and how to bounce back.”
