IPL 2024: Thought We Were 15-20 Runs Short But Did Not Bowl Loose Balls In Powerplay And Middle Overs, Says Jadeja
Indian Premier League: Ravindra Jadeja, who hit an unbeaten 43 with the bat and took 3-20 in a decisive middle-overs spell in Chennai Super Kings’ 28-run win over Punjab Kings, said the side felt they were 15-20 runs short at the halfway stage. But he added that not bowling loose deliveries in Power-play and middle overs was crucial in the side’s win at HPCA Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
“We thought we were 15-20 runs short but we did not bowl loose balls in the powerplay and the middle overs. My role as a batter is to build partnerships and then play the big shots towards the end.”
“Sometimes, when we lose wickets in the Powerplay, we do not get momentum. In the matches we win, we play all phases well. We had a good powerplay but did not get partnerships in the middle overs. I was trying to build a good partnership to then tee off at the end,” said Jadeja, the Player of the Match, to broadcasters after the match ended.
