'Was It The Right One?': Chappell Questions Jadeja's Approach At Lord's
New Delhi: Former India head coach Greg Chappell questioned whether Ravindra Jadeja’s disciplined knock of 61 not out off 181 balls was the right approach in the chase of 193 in the third Test against England at Lord’s, citing that the all-rounder had to take calculated risks and not just block boundaries.
On the final day’s play, Jadeja was at his gritty and defiant best to hit his fourth successive fifty in Tests. But that valiant effort went in vain as India lost by 22 runs at Lord’s and now find themselves 2-1 behind in the five-match series against England.
“The Lord's Test also provided a telling moment with the way Jadeja was managed late in the match. Left with the tail, Jadeja did what many specialist batters do in that situation: he shielded the tail, farmed the strike, and played conservatively. On the surface, it was a disciplined innings. But was it the right one?”
