Former Indian cricketer, Ajay Jadeja has urged Team India to get their batting combination in the correct for the four T20I in Ahmedabad on Thursday. India made 1 change to their playing XI from the last game by bringing back vice-captain Rohit Sharma in place of Suryakumar Yadav, who didn’t got the chance to bat on his international debut in the 2nd T20I but didn’t get the opportunity to bat.

Rohit’s addition also forced the team management to change the batting order as he opened with KL Rahul while Ishan Kishan was dropped to No. 3 while Virat Kohli came in at No. 4. The hosts lost the game by 8 wickets on Tuesday as England took a 2-1 lead in the 5-match series.

Describing the same, during a chat on Cricbuzz, Ajay Jadeja said, “I feel some players are not playing in their ideal positions. For example, I am a big fan of how Hardik Pandya plays his game. When he came out to bat, look at the England bowlers who had overs left. Archer, Wood, and an over or two of someone else.”

He also added, “There is no team who have five frontline bowlers. You will always have one bowler who’s slightly weaker than the others. India need to understand which batsman will give them the maximum returns when they come up against a particular bowler. You know the pace at which Hardik Pandya bats when he’s having a good day.”

Jadeja concluded,” You have to think whether you want to up the ante when your batsmen are facing Archer or Wood, or when someone like Jordan or Sam Curran is bowling. That’s why I feel India’s current batting lineup isn’t in their best interest.”
