Not every player can be in top form for the match

The head coach of the Indian cricket team, Rahul Dravid, has been in discussions with Ravindra Jadeja, who has been facing struggles ahead of their match against the USA. While Jadeja is known for his skills in all aspects of the game, there are concerns about his recent form in T20Is.

In the past few years, Jadeja's performance, particularly in the IPL, has fallen short of expectations. Despite having his highest run tally since 2011 for the Chennai Super Kings this year, his impact has been disappointing. Moreover, there have been questions about his bowling on flat pitches, raising doubts about his place in the Indian XI.

Although Jadeja was selected for the T20 World Cup, his performances in the first two matches of the tournament have been subpar. With limited chances to bat and only marginal success with the ball, there is increasing scrutiny of his role in the team.

India's preference for Axar Patel as both a batsman and bowler further complicates Jadeja's situation. However, the coaching staff, including Rahul Dravid and Vikram Rathour, are actively engaging with Jadeja to offer support and motivation.

Paras Mhambrey, the bowling coach, emphasised the team's belief in Jadeja's abilities, citing his vast experience and potential to turn things around in a single game. He also acknowledged that other players, such as Shivam Dube, are facing similar challenges.

In a long tournament like the T20 World Cup, Mhambrey stressed the importance of backing players through their highs and lows. Despite occasional setbacks, he emphasised the team's commitment to supporting each member and maintaining confidence in their abilities to contribute positively.
