MS Dhoni delighted with the performance of Ravindra Jadeja - Cricket News Update
Captain of the Indian cricket team, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RA-Jadeja-c2238 on his comeback to the Indian team and said the all-rounder seems to have improved a lot.
Jadeja was drafted in the Indian limited-overs squad after a number of senior players were ruled out because of injuries. The left-arm spinner got a chance to play in the third One Day International of the series at the Oval and impressed with both bat and
ball.
The Men in Blue lost the match by three wickets but Jadeja shined big time as he scored 78 runs off 89 balls with the help of 10 boundaries and took his team out of trouble. While bowling, the youngster picked up two wickets after giving away 42 runs in
quota of nine overs.
Dhoni is delighted with the performance of the all-rounder and sees a huge improvement in his batting skills. The Indian captain revealed that Jadeja was dropped from the Indian team last year as his batting was not up to the mark of International cricket
and there was no place for him in the squad in the presence of the all-rounders like Yuvraj Singh and Yusuf Pathan.
The Indian captain said, “Jadeja batted brilliantly. His bowling was always up to the mark. It was his batting which was a concern. He has shown improvement. He showed it in IPL where he could face fast bowlers and yet play big shots. Overall, he looks more
complete right now. When Jadeja was dropped, at that time we had http://www.senore.com/Cricket/YK-Pathan-c2815 who was a big hitter.”
Dhoni also praised the performance of his young off-spinner, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Ashwin-c2228, and believes that the offie has a great future ahead of him because he uses his mind while bowling. The pitch at the Oval was turning and Ashwin made the best use of it by
picking up three crucial scalps.
“Ashwin is a thinking cricketer. This was a game where he could show his talent. It was turning a bit and I think he bowled in the right areas,” Dhoni added.
