Jadeja was picked ahead of lead spinner Ravichandran Ashwin for the first Test in Nottingham. Although he did not have much to do with the ball, the southpaw scored a crucial half-century in India’s first innings. On the tour of Australia as well, he chipped in with key contributions before getting injured.
Speaking to ANI, Jadeja explained that it is his self-belief that has led to the drastic improvement in him as a cricketer. The Saurashtra all-rounder elaborated:
Jadeja also opined that the current Indian squad is a very well-balanced outfit and hence they have a good chance of beating England in the ongoing series. The left-arm spinner said:
Virat Kohli always looks to win the game: Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja shares a long association with Indian captain Virat Kohli. They have been teammates at the U-19 level as well. Asked about the changes he has observed in Kohli, the all-rounder revealed:
It remains to be seen whether Jadeja retains his place in the playing XI for the Lord’s Test. Many critics have backed Ashwin’s inclusion as the lead spinner for the match, which starts on Thursday (August 12).
