If the car starts from rolling it.(I take it manual)Ignition
system is fine. Have the battery load tested at an auto part
store for free. check the battery connections are clean and tight.

I would also do a voltage drop test on the main starter cable.

All above is correct. Check connections at the battery, block, starter, and fuse box. Make sure all are clean, tight, free of corrosion. Voltage drop test positive and negative battery cables, and have battery tested. If all of that checks out, you might need to have a look at your starter. Sometimes the contacts in the solenoid wear out and need to be replaced.

Here’s a video on doing that voltage drop and an article that may also help.
