Foolish decision  all those years he is played as finisher with dhoni. Now india will have no finisher down the order.

 

 

 

He batted down the order not because he was a finisher. But because he had no spots left. Otherwise he was never known for finishing games. He would get out or struggle to score quickly. I still think it can backfire. Sometimes he won't get out and also not score runs. This is one final chance to redeem himself as he hasn't contributed in any of the world T20.

Jadeja's T20I strike rate is 113

He has been a beast in the last two games, this has bitten you in the arse.

[R!TTER]

What's tappa btw unless you meant it like a bounce(r) because that's not what a seal i.e. thappa is called

Dont get upset.

Accept it, then move on and learn from your mistakes.

Very mediocre t20 batsman. 

 

One innings against mediocre SL B bowling attack doesn't prove zilch. 

 

If that's the case then Bhuvi is Wasim Akram after his performance vs Wi. 

 

Secondly what's even the point of playing him at 5, once Pant, Sky, Pandya returns will Rohit continue to play Jadeja at 5?

He's playing as a proper AR, not as a pure batter. He bowls his full quota decently and also plays the finisher role. How many can do both roles better than him in India?

Jadeja is a terrible t20 batsman and he cannot be a finisher even in ODIs let alone t20s. Yesterday's match was fluke and its only Srilanka.

So another fluke, yeah ok.

 

He will be the perfect player in Australia.

As he was last time with late order batting.

[Majestic]

Can't believe Jadeja has got only 326 runs in T20 internationals. He has been playing from eternity and he has lesser runs tally than even Suryakumar ( 350 runs) who debuted last year only in T20Is.

 

That's blasphemy!

Correct me if I am wrong, but we dont have a single player bar Jaddu that can bowl 4 overs, field like a God and attack bowlers while batting.

I don't think Jaddu is a regular 4-over bowler. can do 3 on most days. peak pandu could bat more explosively, field well, and bowl 2 overs.

We need to recognize that Jadeja 2.0 's batting ability and hitting ability are vastly improved across formats.

 

It's all about recognizing current ability and form instead of names. Choosing a player based on past ability or rejecting a player based on past lack of ability are equally bad.

 

(  And it is possible that Jaddu will deteriorate after 2 or 3 years ... and he needs to be dropped then and not persisted with based on what he may achieve today )

+one of the best fielder.I dont know what past Jadega performance has to do with his current form. I used to call him super useless jadega  when Dhoni used to back him inspite of him being mediocre.But he improved a lot since, especially in test cricket he was averaging some 45 with the bat in past 3 years. Same way if he can improve his performance in loi he should get chance, idea is to play performing players definitely he needs to do it against better team but if we see in last few international tourney he performed well with the bat as well , some people remember pandya performance in aus loi but Jadega was also one of the main contributor and i remember in one of the loi he completely thrashed starc, hazelwood and cummins. More importantly he plays all the important tourney as an allrounder and not like a fake allrounder who play most of his matches on tiktok . One important thing is this management should check him time to time as he has habit of playing selfishly at times and also he should be considered as an extra bowler and not main bowler.

This is the most important part of your post.

Current.

 

Otherwise for the WC, we should really be playing Dhoni and Tendulkar in white ball cricket if its based on averages.

[AuxiliA]

Jadeja has such a long rope in ODIs & T20s because literally none the Indian batsmen can bowl. Even Pandya, who was supposed to be our Klusener, isn't fit enough to bowl now and even his batting has gone down. 

 

Jadeja 2.0 provides crucial balance to the team. He's actually very vital for us right now.

Jadeja 2.0 has improved his batting but not hitting ability. The kind of innings he played against SL, similar innings have been played by him in IPL randomly and very rarely. He has limited hitting ability and most importantly he is a selfish batsman,plays for himself which is unacceptable at the position he bats. To sum up he neither has hitting ability nor intentions to play as a finisher.

His current ability and form is against SL.

Scored 44 not out off 23 balls in Canberra against Australia about 15 months ago and won the match for us.

 

Scored 26 not out off 19 balls against NZ in Dubai in the T20 WC.
