India’s bowling coach Paras Mhambrey opened up on all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja’s poor performance in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 and said that it is a ‘team game’ one cannot expect all the players to come into form at once. In India’s first two matches of the T20 World Cup against Ireland and Pakistan, the 35 year-old hasn’t been able to deliver either with the bat or with the ball.
This is what Mhambrey had to say about Rahul Dravid and Vikram Rathour having conversations with Jadeja to motivate him.
“I think it’s a team game, right? It’s going to be 11 guys. You really don’t expect all of them coming into form. It’s going to be performed every game that will happen. For me, I personally feel whatever conversations Rahul and Vicky are having around, I’ve been pretty happy with it. And you expect a one-odd game out there.”
The bowling coach also said that an experienced player like Jadeja only needs one game to get his form back. He added that it’s not only Jadeja who is in a poor form but Shivam Dube and others are also struggling.
“It’s a long tournament. I think…someone like Jadeja, who’s so vastly experienced, he just needs a game out there to just get his roots around and feel around.”
“You can have one odd game and people will have conversations saying you are given a game, and you’re going to have one bad game. That’s fine, but the team will back you. And that’s what is important in a tournament like this,” added Mhambrey.
