The defeat of five tablespoons of India in the first test against England has triggered mass questions about the team selection, and all eyes are in Ravindra Jadja. Despite Bowling 47 through the two entries, Ravindra Jadja returned with a single Wicket for 172 runs that exposed the lack of the Indian threatening spin option on the last day in Headingley.
It was expected that the left arm spinner exploded the rough patches created in the left area, but remained ineffective for most of the opening of the five -game test series against England. It was only in the final session when Jadja managed to say goodbye Ben Stokes.
Greg Chappell blames India’s obsession with Headingley’s defeat
But then, the damage had caused itself, as the workshop of England, Ben Duckett, had already removed the Indian party. To get worse, Jasprit Bumrah had a day off and left without bites, leaving the Indian bowling without teeth on the last crucial day when the hosts pursued 350 runs.

Well, ahead of the second test in Birmingham, from July 2, the legendary Australian Cricleter Greg Chappell has blamed India’s obsession with the off -road. The former Indian coach warned that his habit of collecting bowls that can be a little beaten is a decline in English conditions.
Ravindra Jadja is not a first line spinner in English condition: Greg Chappell
Chappell emphasized that if Ravindra Jadja is mainly in the team for his battle, he should play as a support spinner, not the advantage. He believes that India has to stop compromising the bowl force for depth in battle, and instead, specialists in doing their job if they want to stay alive in the test series.
Greg Chappell wrote in his column for EspncricInfo: “Jadja is not a front -line spinner in English condition. If his battle is considered good enough, he can be a support spinner; otherwise, a rethinking is needed. If India reverses his fortunes in this series, then a better balanced team is required.”
Greg Chappell Slams India’s “insurance” strategy asks for daring selection calls
In addition, the former Indian coach has criticized the team’s focus on choosing part -time bowls only to strengthen the battle. Chappell said this “insurance” policy does not help when the team needs 20 doctors to win a test game, especially in England.
Aussie Great has joined the Shardul Thakur selection in the first test, where he only launched 16 in total and chose two doctors in one. He suggested that India chose the first six batters that could mark races and the bowling attack should be collected exclusively in the capacity, not the depth of beat.
Are Indian selectors under pressure now?
Chappell explained: “I do not agree that an additional batter must be selected to be selected as insurance against higher order collapses. The first six must trust to deliver the runs and that the best combination to secure the 20 doctors needed is available for the captain.”
He also urged national selectors to show courage to choose black combinations, just as players take on risks on the field. Chappell signed by saying, “Selectors are the ones under pressure now. If the bathers and the bowls must be ready to risk the races and take doctors, they must also have the courage to make daring decisions.”
