india failed to reach the target of 193 runs in the last innings of the third Test match against england and lost by 22 runs. In this match, Jadeja was the only individual to score 61 runs in the second innings. After that, KL rahul scored 39 runs. Apart from these two players, no other player even crossed 20 runs. This is seen as a major reason for the defeat. Commenting on this, former indian team captain Ganguly said that the defeat in the Lord's Test match was disappointing. Speaking about this, he said that if you look at the way india batted in this series, they should have definitely reached the target of 193 runs.
That too, Jadeja fought alone and scored runs. Considering the batting prowess of our players, it is certainly disappointing that we could not achieve this target. Because if we had won this match, we could have taken a two-to-one lead in the series. I think this disappointment will definitely be not only for me but also for the players. If the top-order players had shown at least a little fighting spirit, this match would have been in India's favor. Jadeja performed very well. I think he will continue to play for the indian team.
He has played 80 Test matches and 200 ODI matches for the indian team. So he has a lot of experience. If you look at his batting, bowling, and fielding, you will definitely understand that he is a special player. Especially his batting has improved a lot in the last few years. Ganguly has praised him and said that he will be a very important player for the indian team. But the fact that the other two all-rounders, Washington Sundar, were out for a duck in 4 balls and nitish kumar could only score 13 runs is seen as a reason for the defeat.
