IND vs AUS: Team India’s World Cup preparations are in the final stage. Ravindra Jadeja’s batting will be in focus in the 3-match IND vs AUS ODI. Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Virat Kohli, and Kuldeep Yadav have been rested for the first two ODIs. In such a situation, KL Rahul has been given the captaincy and Jadeja has been given the vice-captaincy. All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is an important player of Team India. He comes to bat at number 7 and not getting runs from his bat is a problem for the team.
Jadeja has scored a total of 33 runs in the last 4 ODI innings. His performance against Australia has not been anything special. In the 3-match ODI series against West Indies, Ravindra Jadeja scored 34 runs in 3 matches. He remained unbeaten on 16 runs in the first match and 8 runs in the third. In the second ODI, he was out after scoring 10 runs.
After Sanju Samson was out in the 25th over, he came to bat and returned to the pavilion in the 32nd over. He got a chance to bat in 3 matches in the Asia Cup. In the group stage against Pakistan, he was out after scoring 14 runs. Apart from this, he was out after scoring 4 runs against Sri Lanka and 7 runs against Bangladesh in the Super Stage.
Jadeja failed in the group stage against Pakistan
Talking about the Asia Cup group stage match against Pakistan, after the top order returned to the pavilion early, Ishan Kishan and Hardik Pandya batted brilliantly and put Team India in a strong position. At one time it seemed that the team would score above 300, but after the dismissal of these two batsmen, the batting slowed down. Had Jadeja scored runs, the score could have been 300.
Ravindra Jadeja did not show strength in Asia Cup
In the match against Sri Lanka in the Super 4 stage, Akshar Patel took Team India beyond the score of 200 by playing an inning of 26 runs. If runs had come from Jadeja’s bat, the team could have reached closer to 230-235. Even in the match against Bangladesh, Axar Patel was left alone in the end. He played a fighting inning of 42 runs, but could not win. Team India needed runs from Jadeja in this match, but he did not run.
