maniac Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 2nd best innings from india was Kohli in the context of the game. His timely boundaries did ease some pressure. Jadeja was as usual a good supporting act. As I have said before, Jadeja’s best is usually a secondary support act. Not too much to nitpick here but yes I didn’t trust Jadeja to win the game on his own. Norman 1 Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I thought jaddu innings was bang avg his attacking shots mostly came against nawaz which is a favourable matchup for him. He still cudnt attack shadab which as a lone left hander was his job, struggled against hard length with hardik too . Without pandya he wont have won the game RRR just suited his innings and these kind of innings are normal with him Target range men tha bas varna yahi innings gandi nazar aati 9 hours ago, maniac said: 2nd best innings from india was Kohli in the context of the game. yup he was in command till he was their , the hard lengths their bowlers used against Pandya-jaddu wont have worked against kohli . Kohli just looked shaky at start which any batsman wud , no one comes out set from dressing room unless someone is in his purple patch Adamant 1 Link to comment
Norman Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 He did more than an okay job against Pakistan. Nawaz and Naseem were their best bowlers and none of our batters were able to hit them but Jaddu scored 4 boundaries against them (two 4s and two 6s) at crucial junctures. And his two economical overs were key as well. I know he hasn't been great in T20is but to criticize him based on the last game is just plain stupidity. Clarke, Lord and AuxiliA 3 Link to comment
Frustrated Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Being a left hander, it becomes easier to play shots against the likes of Shadab and Nawaz. (Particularly Nawaz). He was promoted up the order specifically for that reason. It worked to some extent. Having said that, it was actually the presence of Pandya at the other end which made jaddu' job easier IMO.

Scoring 35 off 29 (SR of 120) This is NOT a match winning inning by any stretch of imagination. It's not as if the pitch was a minefield and we were chasing 120. If not for Pandya's Blinder, we would hv definitely lost the match. AuxiliA 1 Link to comment

Also if not for Jadeja's initial attack on their spinners we would have lost too. He forced Pak to keep their SLA for the 20th over. Even Wasim Akram acknowledged that. Jadeja only slowed down when Hardik started hitting. He batted much better than Rohit and SKY in that match, both were struggling big time. He kept us going swiftly in the middle overs and only after that Hardik finished it for us. Norman 1 Link to comment
AuxiliA Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Jadeja gets more genuine appreciation on padosi and SENA forums than here lol. A truly unique player. Some people here are still stuck in 2009. Lord 1 Link to comment

Kohli also gets more appreciation on padosi forums than here I hv visited English forums and BigFooty. Hv not seen jaddu getting much appreciation. I could be wrong though. I m genuinely interested to see that. Would be great if u can share the link/s here. Edited September 1, 2022 by Frustrated Link to comment

He is better rated on neutral forums and Reddit for sure. Here he gets lambasted even after decent performances. Especially the OP has an irrational hate boner for him. Kohli is a different beast. He gets liked/disliked more for his off field activities than on field ones. He's more of a celebrity than a cricketer now. Link to comment
