Ravindra Jadeja

The match between India vs Nepal is going on and till now 37.5 overs have been bowled as this article is being written. Nepal got a brilliant start, but India was able to capitalize later on in the game. That was because of the depth in the bowling unit of the Indian team. The spearhead of the bowling department has been Ravindra Jadeja. He has made sure that he leads from the front in the absence of Bumrah. That is exactly what he has done. He has wiped out the whole middle order, to ensure that Nepal will not be able to reach the big total of the tournament.

Contribution of Ravindra Jadeja till now

The opening partnership of the Nepal Cricket team was a success, and the first wicket of Nepal fell at a score of 65 runs. It was Shardul Thakur who got the first wicket of the Nepal Batting order. 

  • Once the first wicket of Nepal’s batting order was gone, that is when it looked like the second partnership could get settled. However, Ravindra Jadeja took the wicket of Bhim Sharki, to ensure that the score was 77-2. 
  • Nepal started feeling the pressure, and they were not able to take it. The fall of wickets began, and it was Ravindra Jadeja who took 3 consecutive wickets. 
  • His first wicket was Bhim Sharki, and then the second was the big fish, the captain of Nepal’s team, that is Rohit Paudel. He was able to score only 5 runs, and once he was out, the score was 93-3. 
  • Kushal Malla was the next to chase Jadeja, he got his wicket only at the score of 2 runs. 

After taking these wickets, Jadeja has completely washed the middle order of Nepal’s team. Currently, the game has been stopped due to rain, and it is clear that Nepal is not having enough chances to reach a big total. The present score on the board is 178-6, and more runs are certainly required from them.
