'Ravindra Jadeja Could Have...': Sunil Gavaskar Slams Shubman Gill's Team India After Lord's Loss

India vs England: It was a match to remember as India fought hard at Lord's on the final day when it seemed the game would be over long before. India eventually lost the game by 22 runs to concede England a 2-1 lead in the ongoing series. Following the game, former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar praised Ravindra Jadeja, but reckoned he could have been a little more aggressive. Gavaskar also mentioned that not getting a 60-70-run stand hurt India.

‘Jadeja could have taken the odd chance’

"A partnership of 60-70 would have made a difference. India never got that. You could say that Jadeja could have taken the odd chance and not necessarily the aerial route when Joe Root and Shoaib Bashir was bowling. But full marks to him (Jadeja)," Sunil Gavaskar said on Sony Sports. 

Jadeja remained unbeaten on 61*. He put up a brave fight along with tailenders Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj. Eventually, Ben Stokes and his men won the game.

Can India Bounce Back at Manchester? 

It will not be easy as the hosts would be high-on-confidence after a win of such magnitude. The belief would be lacking in the Indian dressing-room and it would be important to see how they keep themselves focused and motivated for the upcoming Test at Manchester. 

It would also be interesting to see if the Indian team opt for changes or not. The fourth Test starts from July 23 at the Old Trafford.
