Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja said before the Rajkot Test that he does not consider England as one of the toughest teams. The third test match between India and England will start in Rajkot from Thursday.
Ravindra Jadeja said that the Indian team made some mistakes in Hyderabad, otherwise they would have led 2-0 in the series. Recall that India had taken a lead of 190 runs on the basis of first innings in the Hyderabad Test and then lost the match by 28 runs.
What did Ravindra Jadeja say
- I can’t say that England is one of the toughest teams. It is not easy for other teams to come and play in India. If there had been no mistakes in the second innings of the first Test, we would not have lost the match.
According to Jadeja the condition of the pitch
- 35-year-old Jadeja said that the Rajkot pitch will not be helpful for spinners and it will take time for the pitch to crack.
- The pitch here is flat and hard, but it will depend on what they have prepared. Sometimes you take 37 wickets in a three-day match, but this pitch looks good.
- The pitch behaves differently in every match here. Sometimes it is flat, sometimes there is a turn here. Sometimes it plays well for the first two days and then the ball turns.
- I believe it will play well at first and then break slowly and then the ball will start spinning.
Rajkot is special for Jadeja
So far two Tests have been played in Rajkot, in which the teams scored at the rate of 3.55. The run rate in the fourth innings was 3.27. This makes it clear that bowlers have to work hard to take wickets. Rajkot is a special place for Jadeja, where he scored his first century against West Indies in October 2018.
