In this match, Ravindra Jadeja tried his best to win the team by playing a strong innings of 61 runs. However, he could not succeed. Sunil Gavaskar’s statement has now come on his innings.
The five -match Test series continues between India and England at this time. The third Test of the series between the two teams was played at the prestigious Lord’s Cricket Ground, where England won by 22 runs in a thrilling match. In this match, India’s star all -rounder Ravindra Jadeja tried his best to win the team by playing a strong innings of 61 runs in the second innings. However, he could not succeed, where the team remained 22 runs away from the victory. After the end of the match, India’s great cricketer Sunil Gavaskar looked disappointed, where he questioned Jadeja and said that he should have already attacked Joe Root or Shoaib Bashir.
India did not make a big partnership- Gavaskar
Talking to Sony Sports, he said, ‘There was no major partnership from India, due to which India lost this match. A partnership of 60-70 runs in the match could have created a difference, but India could not do so. You can say that Jadeja redeemed some opportunities, but it is not necessary that he plays aerial shot. When Bashir and Root were bowling against India, Jadeja could take a chance to hit a four or a six. Especially when Ben Stokes stood on mid-off. The second time when Bumrah was batting with him, because Stokes was fielding inside the circle on mid-off. So he could have hit a four there.
Jadeja became India’s last hope
Jadeja emerged as India’s hope in Lord’s. On the fifth day of the match, Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer started giving shocks one after the other to 58-4 to 82-7. At this time it seemed that the team would not be able to complete 100 runs. But from here Jadeja took the front and took responsibility for winning the team with the tail batsmen.
Jadeja herbs the most slow fifty
During his innings, Jadeja also hit the most slow fifty of his Test career. Jadeja’s presence disappointed the England team, where the team could not dismiss him till the end. India was unfortunate, where Shoaib Bashir’s ball hit Mohammad Siraj’s stumps and India lost the match.
