India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja took to his Instagram story to share a picture that has left the internet guessing. Jadeja put a photo of his Test jersey on the social media platform and the post is now getting widely circulated on X, formerly Twitter.

However, former Indian cricket team star Manoj Tiwary believes that head coach Gautam Gambhir will not be able to drop either Rohit or Virat and added that the decision will completely be their own.
