Not many can outscore the best batsman, Virat Kohli, in an ODI game. Not many can take all the attention off Kohli when he is debuting as the ODI captain. And, not many can dream of winning a match after losing four wickets at 63.

Clearly, Pune’s local hero Kedar Yadav, doesn’t count himself among ‘everyone’. Picked ahead of Ajinkya Rahane for his ability to play impact knocks in the middle-order, Kedar played one of the most unbelievable innings of his life.

Clearly, it was also the most defining moment of his career. From here on, as some former cricketers have suggested, he should be an integral part of the Indian team. Some pundits believe Kedar is the best No.6 batsman in India.

Contrarily, officials of his state team, Maharashtra, didn’t have the best opinion of Jadhav. Infact for them, he was a write-off. However, Kedar kept scoring at the domestic level with same fervour.

Even with the India A team, he emerged as one of the most consistent performers with the bat. Then came a time when selectors had no option other than picking him in the India ODI team.

This win over England, that too before his home ground in Pune, was just what Kedar required.

It will also strengthens his reputation as a solid middle-order batsman and a few knocks like the one he played in Pune could cement his place in the Indian team for the Champions Trophy later this year.
