Now, Jadeja has finally opened up about his captaincy tenure. The Indian all-rounder didn’t point fingers at anybody in the CSK camp but said that no matter how much a captain wants to turn things around, it is impossible when the batters and bowlers are not delivering.
I could have done differently: Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja said on the ‘Kutti Stories With Ash’ YouTube show, “It was difficult. In T20 cricket, every ball is an event. It is a fast game, but for me it was an experience. I could have done better. As a captain, if your team is not doing well, then all the blame falls on the captaincy. Thinking, bowling changes, fielding chances. Unfortunately, the team was not doing well.”
Jadeja added, “If we were winning and everyone was contributing, then it was not rocket science. Sometimes, normal things work, but when your players, batters, and bowlers don’t contribute, you cannot win in the T20 format. I felt I could have done better; I could have done differently.”
