We don’t need to look elsewhere for advice: Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja stated that he was fielding in the deep mid-wicket area due to the high-scoring nature of the game, and that a good fielder would be required on the boundary lines. He praised Dhoni’s presence on the field for advice, saying that CSK were fortunate to have him in the squad.
“No, the last game (against LSG) was a high-scoring game, so there are chances of catches at deep mid-wicket, and we thought it would be better if a good fielder was there.” As a result, I was unable to communicate effectively with the bowlers. But Mahi Bhai provides input, which is good because he is so experience that we don’t need to look elsewhere for advice.
“He’s a legend and has been captaining for so many years, that experience is only in our dressing room, so we’re lucky to have his advice,” Jadeja said after the game. The newly appointed CSK captain also state that he’s mentally preparing for the leadership role and was not feeling rush by the occasion. He went on to say that one game in the IPL 2022 could break their losing streak.
“I’ve been preparing for captaincy since I was told about it a few months ago.” Mentally, I was prepare to lead; there was no pressure on me; I trusted my instincts; I was just thinking, and whatever thoughts came to mind, I pursued. In T20 cricket, it only takes one match to gain momentum, and then the winning streak begins.
“We’re looking for that one win.” When that time comes, everyone on the team is well-verse in their roles. “We’re just trying to get into a rhythm and waiting for our plans to come together,” he added.
