Ind vs Eng 3rd Test: Why did Jadeja not put big shots? Cheteshwar Pujara opened the full story of Lord’s Test

Ind vs eng 3rd test: Team India suffered a 22 -run defeat to England in Lord’s Test and after this defeat, there is talk of Ravindra Jadeja’s game everywhere. Jadeja scored a half -century in both innings of this match, but in the last time, he was seen hesitating to play big shots. Regarding this, veterans like Anil Kumble, Sunil Gavaskar and Sourav Ganguly questioned, “Should Jadeja not have taken a little risk in batting?”

Now Cheteshwar Pujara has answered all these questions.

Pujara’s statement

Cheteshwar Pujara clearly said in a conversation with the Indian Express that as Jadeja batted, he did the condition of the pitch and the position of the match. Pujara said, “Jadeja could not play fast at that time. The ball was soft and the pitch was also slow. The tales were batting with them from above. In such a situation, he must have thought that the team should be brought closer to the target and when the opportunity should be played fast.” Pujara praised Jadeja’s batting and said that he played the situation wisely.

“There was an option to play in front, but …”

Pujara admitted that there was a gap between the mid-off and the cover, where Jadeja could play the ball, but he said that the English bowlers did not bowl on the length, so that he could get the shot. He said, “When the ball becomes soft, it is not easy to play in front. Jadeja’s technology is now better than before. He now looks strong against fast bowlers, not just spin.”

Jadeja’s fire in Test series

Ravindra Jadeja has scored 327 runs in 6 innings at an average of 109 in this England Test series so far. The special thing is that he has scored half -centuries in four consecutive Test innings. His performance is enough to tell that he is currently in the strongest form of his career.

Expectations from Jadeja in Manchester Test

Now that the last Test of the series will be played in Manchester, Team India needs to win this match to save the series. In such a situation, another match winning performance is expected from Ravindra Jadeja.
