2nd Test: Always Believed Getting India Test Cap Was Bound To Happen, Says Saransh Jain

India Test: Confident of his abilities after years of consistent domestic grind, off-spin bowling all-rounder Saransh Jain on Monday said he always maintained a deep faith in earning his Test cap, adding that it was only a matter of time for him to grab it. Indore-based Saransh got his Test debut in the ongoing game against Sri Lanka at the SSC Ground after left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav was ruled out due to a viral infection and received his cap from senior left-arm spin bowling all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. I had mixed emotions. When I received the cap, I was happy and excited, resulting in mixed feelings. When I started playing cricket, of course, every players dream is to represent India. Mine was the same - I wanted to play for India. And even if I hadnt received the cap yesterday, I definitely believed that I would represent India in the next one or two years, said Jain in a chat with broadcasters ahead of day twos play. Highlighting the rigorous demands of playing red-ball format for a long time for Madhya Pradesh, Central Zone and India A, Jain stated that mastering the longest version of the game serves as the ultimate benchmark for a cricketer and naturally eases the transition into white-ball cricket.
