Gavaskar slams people criticising Jadeja
Team India has left no room for criticism after the way they have performed in the ongoing T20I World Cup 2024, breaking the back of robust oppositions with their stunningly unerring performances. India marched into the semi-final of the tournament on the back of a searing knock from skipper Rohit Sharma, who struck 92, hitting eight sixes, to steer the side to a massive total. Sharma’s well-crafted innings was underpinned by impeccable bowling attack by Indian bowlers to power India to a great win over Aussies.
Despite India doing well, there still have been concerns surrounding all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja’s performance, who, match after match, has failed to demonstrate his worth. Not only Jadeja, Virat Kohli too has been struggling to come out of the ongoing lean patch, having only scored 66 runs in last six innings that also includes two ducks. Speaking on Jadeja’s poor form, former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar said that he is not concerned about Jadeja’s from as he has enormous experience and fired back at critics berating Jadeja.
“I am not at all concerned as he is very experienced. For whatever opportunities he’s got, he’s done well. And don’t forget, in the field itself, he saved 20 to 30 runs with his fielding ability, taking catches, and getting the run out. So don’t forget those 20-30 plus runs. Then he enters the field, with anything that he does with the bat and ball is an added value to his ability. So I don’t think we should even think about questioning (Jadeja),” Gavaskar said on Star Sports.
“The problem with India and Indian fans is, two bad games and you go ”what to do with him, what to do with him?’. You know that is the worry. Nobody who asks these questions even thinks about their own professions, whether they have made two errors and whether people are questioning their place in their own profession, whichever profession they are. This is just simply a good topic for television, you don’t question Jadeja’s place in the playing XI. He’s a rock star,” he said.
