New Delhi:
The ongoing T20 World Cup (T20 World Cup 2024) saw a lot of positives from Team India’s 50-run win over Bangladesh (India vs Ban) on Saturday, but at a time when the Indian team was on the brink of a semi-final. It’s the final. While Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are still not satisfied, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is also under question, which former opener Akash Chopra has now pointed the finger at.
Chopra has said that Jadeja has so far performed normally with the ball in the mega event. Against Bangladesh, Jadeja could not take a single wicket after conceding 24 runs in three overs. At the same time, Jadeja has so far managed to take just 1 wicket for 61 runs in 9 overs in 5 matches. And this figure is enough to show that not only was Jadeja used sparingly, but he got only one wicket.
Expressing his thoughts on his YouTube channel, Chopra said let’s talk about Kuldeep Yadav. He is Rohit’s favorite and he always wants to have him in the team. Now that the ball is coming off his hands a little faster, he’s going left or right after taking the hit. Apart from this, Kuldeep is also getting wickets. He is financially viable and is also taking wickets.
Chopra said that Yadav does not bowl loose balls. He is India’s trump card and I am a bit worried about Jadeja’s performance. That said, I will say with all honesty that Jadeja’s “premier avatar” was not seen even once in the entire tournament. He is bowling very fast and of short length too. This is the reason why he is unable to take wickets.
