Gill backed Jadeja after disappointing series against New Zealand

Jadeja has already retired from T20Is, and his spot in the ODI looks uncertain as he has managed to score only 43 runs across the three match ODI series at an average of 14.33, while he also failed to grab a single wicket.

However, Gill backed Jadeja despite his disappointing form and remarked, “Firstly, I think about Jaddu bhai, I don’t know how many matches he has played over the past couple of years, but in terms of his batting, he was looking in positive touch,” Gill stated in the post-series press conference.

” That reported, I think all of us batters, especially, were not able to convert the starts we got. Whenever you play in India, you usually see high-scoring matches, and if batters get starts but don’t convert them, at least two of them, it always becomes difficult,” he added.
