Gautam want Ravindra Jadeja to be promoted at number five for batting
While speaking with a leading cricket portal Gautam Gambhir expressed his view. He said, “I want to see Jadeja batting at number five and KL Rahul at number four.

Gautam further said that Jadeja always been and very simple player. If selectors will send him to bat at number seven than he will play like number seven. But Jadeja can adjust his game if selectors will send him in top order like number four or five. He will play the batting needed at number four or five. Ravindra is the most balanced player and he always impressed with his fielding, batting and bowling.
Jadeja placement at number five will keep a place vacant for sixth bowler in Team India
Gautam Gambhir suggested that Krunal Pandya and Akshar Patel can be alternative to another all-rounder. He said, “If you ask someone to open, then he will think like an opener. Jadeja has the ability and all know his capability and competence. He has a century in his test carrier in all conditions. He has scored runs in white-ball cricket then why can’t we push him at number five. Don’t forget he can play at all levels with the same ability.
This placement of Ravindra Jadeja will work for the entire team. This combination will keep a spot vacant where you can send the sixth bowler to bowl and clear the spell with less runs. You can include another left-arm spinner like Krunal Pandya or Akshar Patel. This will be the most balanced combination for team India and everyone will get benefited.
