Balwinder Singh Sandhu Slams Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja was impressive with a bat for India, but after the 22-run team loss in the Mr. Test she came under criticism. Despite scoring the undefeated 61 in the second shifts, India could not lead to victory. Winner of the 1983 Balwinder Singh Sandhu World Championship Jadeja could show more faith in tailenders.
“Ravindra Jadej, who will come to the last moments, is someone I know from his U-19 days at the National Cricket Academy. Even then he showed maturity after his age. He is a smart cricket, calm under pressure, but this time maybe fear of failure or pressure not believed.
“If only Jasprit Bumrah believed a little more, especially when Bumrah defended so well, and resisted the single of the fourth ball.
On the 2nd day in Manchester, India will hope that Jadeja will have a big knock to help them publish the impressive total of the first shifts.
