Cricket, like life, rewards those who endure long enough to be seen. India's selection of a 15-member Test squad for Sri Lanka carries two quiet stories within it: the return of Ravindra Jadeja, a seasoned all-rounder reclaiming his place after injury, and the first call-up of Saransh Jain at 33, a man whose years of domestic excellence finally found their formal recognition. Together, these selections remind us that sport's timelines are rarely tidy — recovery and patience, it turns out, are disciplines of their own.
