Ravindra Jadeja
Indian team captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid have been in the news for their constant experimentation in the ongoing ODI series against the West Indies. Even in the second ODI, there was a lot of fuss when Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli didn’t play. When the India team lost this match, the team management and the players were criticized from all sides. Regarding this, Kapil Dev even said that gamers are full of ego. They think they know everything. Now, the Team India all-round star has responded on this and in the meantime, he also revealed a big secret within the team.

Jadeja’s response on Kapil Dev’s reaction
India star Ravindra Jadeja on Kapil Dev’s arrogant comment that this is how people react when India lose a match. Speaking to the media ahead of the third ODI against the West Indies, Jadeja said that the team’s focus is just winning matches and they don’t have a personal agenda. Everyone has their own opinion. Former players have every right to share their views, but I don’t think there is any kind of arrogance in this team. Everyone is enjoying their cricket and everyone is working hard. No player takes anything for granted. Everyone is giving their 100% contribution. When the Indian team loses a match, these reactions happen.
Playing 11 decided for the Asian Cup
Jadeja also said that despite doing several experiments in the ODI series against West Indies, the 11th game was decided for the Asian Cup starting on August 30. He said that this series is happening before the Asian Cup and the World Cup in which we can experience. In this we can try a new combination of equipment. With this, we will know the balance of the team and the strong and weak sides of the team. The team captain and management know the combination with which they will go forward. There is no confusion about this. We have already decided on the mix for the Asian Cup, so these experiments are just about testing a player in a particular position in the batting order.
We tell you that the World Cup will be played in India from October 5, whose squad will be announced on September 5 in any case. Before that, the Asian Cup will start from August 30. It is believed that the squad for the Asian Cup and the ODI World Cup will be almost the same. However, just before the World Cup, the team has to play an ODI series against Australia. But from the point of view of the World Cup team, it is clear from Jadeja’s statement that the India team management has made a decision regarding the squad for the next two tournaments. Now only the official announcement is missing.
