Madhya Pradesh’s head coach and former India wicketkeeper-batsman Chandrakant Pandit believes MP off-spinner Saransh Jain, 33, will do justice to his India call-up for the Test series against Sri Lanka, starting at Galle on August 15.

Pandit has played a huge role in Saransh’s progress at MP. “Earlier, Saransh used to hardly play one match in a year. When I started coaching the MP team in 2020, I started giving him regular opportunities because I felt he’s a genuine off-spinner and has something special in him. He grabbed the opportunity with both hands and has now rightly earned the India cap. I’m confident he will do well at the highest level,” Pandit told mid-day on Tuesday.
