India Coach Defends Jadeja Form

India’s bowling coach, Paras Mhambrey, addressed concerns about Ravindra Jadeja’s performance in the T20 World Cup 2024. He emphasized that cricket is a team game, and it’s unrealistic to expect all players to be in top form simultaneously. Jadeja has struggled with both bat and ball in the first two matches against Ireland and Pakistan. However, Mhambrey is optimistic about the discussions between head coach Rahul Dravid and batting coach Vikram Rathour with Jadeja, which aim to boost his confidence.

Team Unity and Confidence in Jadeja

Mhambrey stressed the importance of unity and support within the team, highlighting that a single game can turn a player’s form around. He believes Jadeja’s vast experience will help him regain his confidence and contribute significantly to the team’s success. Mhambrey also mentioned that other players, like Shivam Dube, are facing similar challenges, but the team remains confident in their abilities.

Long Tournament Perspective

Recognizing the lengthy nature of the tournament, Mhambrey pointed out that experienced players like Jadeja only need one good game to find their rhythm. The team management is confident in the skills and experience of players like Jadeja and Dube. Mhambrey reassured that the team supports its players through ups and downs, understanding that occasional poor performances are part of the game.

Upcoming Match Against the US

Looking ahead, India is set to play against the US at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. Mhambrey reiterated the importance of backing players in high-stakes tournaments like the T20 World Cup. The team’s strategy involves maintaining confidence and providing continuous support to ensure overall success.
