Ravindra Jadeja’s twin Edgbaston half -century

Ravindra Jadeja enjoyed a good outing at the Ind vs England 2nd test in Birmingham. The match scored the first example of Jadeja in a half-century in both innings of a distant test. The 36 -year -old stroked an fluent 87 in the first innings, not out in the second innings before a flexible 69. Despite the run under his belt, Jadeja’s game awareness has come into question, especially after the second innings.

Story of two half -centuries of Ravindra Jadeja: unnecessary from necessary

Ravindra Jadeja went into batting with 211/5 on 1 day in Ind v. Eng 2nd Test. With the lifeless surface lifeless for the bowlers, India required massive changes to post competitive total. Sitting a significant partnership with Captain Shubman Gill, the left -handed batsman dropped down. The pair kept 203 for the sixth wicket, which helped India a minimum of 400 -run mark. Jadeja was well set for another century in Edgbaston, but decreased at 89. He batted for more than 3 hours, facing 137 delivery to ensure that India has total safe. Shubman did the rest of the work with Tail and India piled 587.

The knock came behind some criticisms for all the circles that achieved twin failures in Headingly. India fell twice, in which Jadeja was scoring 25 and 15 respectively. His inability to bat with the tail, and the major talks in the hoard strike game. India eventually suffered a 5 -wicket defeat on the last day.

Jadeja dropped England from the competition

In the second innings, India was clearly trying to set a huge goal. Rishabh pants hit more than 100, while KL Rahul and Shubman Gill also maintained a strike rate around 75. Jadeja required quick runs to allow India to give more time to bowl out of England with India.

However, the left -handed batsman opted for quite the opposite. He fell down, which blocks the root and Shoaib Bashir for meditation. He scored only 12 runs off his first 41 balls. After tea, they raised a little speed, only to reach fifty in 94 delivery. Even after reaching his milestone, Jadeja was stable, for 69 runs for 118, at a strike rate of 58.47.

While the strike rate in Test cricket is not a significant metric, the sports situation demanded to speed up Jadeja. Some quick runs and India may have achieved some more overs to get England out and bowl. Instead, Jadeja and Gill resorted to batting out time on a lifeless pitch. Jadeja may have dropped England out of the competition, but has certainly made it difficult for his own partners to achieve a win.
