Ravindra Jadeja, an all-rounder for India, has brushed off his team’s loss against West Indies in the second one-day international that took place on Saturday.
He has also guaranteed that India would do their very best to win the final that will take place on Tuesday.
India has used the One-Day International (ODI) series, which consists of three matches, as a kind of preparation for their efforts in the Asia Cup, which will begin later this month, and the home World Cup, which will take place in October and November.
While India’s mainstay Virat Kohli did not play in the first one-day international, their captain, Rohit Sharma, batted at number seven instead of beginning the batting. As a result, India won the match by five wickets.
The pair did not participate in the second One-Day International match, which was spearheaded by Hardik Pandya and lost to the West Indies by six wickets.
“Coming before the Asia Cup and the World Cup, this is the right time to experiment with team combinations and try players at different positions,” Jadeja told reporters on Monday. “This is the right time to experiment with team combinations and try players at different positions.”
It offers you a solid notion about what the team balance should be like and what combination would be the optimum combo. If there are any adjustments that need to be made, now is the time to make them.”
Even though India has not revealed whether Rohit and Kohli would play in the decisive match, Jadeja said that the team is optimistic about their chances of winning at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad.
“We know we lost a game, but if you are trying different things, that can happen,” he added. “We are aware of this.”
However, we do not lack confidence, and there is no cause for alarm. We are going to play the best cricket we are capable of and give all we have in order to win the series.
Jadeja, who is 34 years old, had a lengthy conversation with Jomel Warrican, who plays left-arm spin for the West Indies, and Jadeja stated he was delighted to share his expertise with Warrican.
“He came up to me and asked for assistance, and I gave some of the knowledge I’ve gained. He had a few questions about the technical aspects, which I did my best to answer,” he stated.
“I have high hopes that he would put in the effort to improve in those areas.
“There is not a single thing that could be better than knowing that your experiences have helped someone else improve their health.”
