Sourav Ganguly, a former captain of India, expressed disappointment, saying that the team captained by Shubman Gill ought to have pursued the objective. He emphasised the fight displayed by Jadeja and the calibre of the other batters in the lineup.
At the Lord’s Cricket Ground, India narrowly lost the third Test match against England after failing to chase down a 193-run mark. In the last session on Day 5, India was bowled for 170, with veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja being the lone fighter with an undefeated 61 off 181 balls.
Sourav Ganguly stated at the Indian Racing League & F4 India Championship on Tuesday, July 15, that he was “a little disappointed with the way India batted in this series; they should have got this 190.”
He went on to say, “They will be more disappointed than I am because it was an opportunity to get 2-1 up in the series against England when you saw Jadeja fight and score the runs, batting quality in this team.”
As long as he hits and plays like this, he will continue to represent India: Sourav Ganguly
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, Jadeja’s teammates, announced their retirements from Test cricket earlier this year during the Indian Premier League (IPL). Nonetheless, the Asian powerhouses continue to regularly use the Saurashtra all-rounder in the longest format. After considering Jadeja’s expertise, Sourav Ganguly said he was a crucial component of the Indian red-ball setup.
“Jadeja has been outstanding; as long as he bats and plays this well, he will play for India.” He’s been in business for a while. He has participated in almost 200 one-day games and about 80 Test matches. He can be seen fielding, pitching, and batting. He is a unique talent, and with experience over the years, his batting has significantly improved. He is a unique player and a vital member of our group,” Ganguly remarked.
