'You only won the toss and lost everything else': Ajay Jadeja reflects on India's 'worst day' | Cricket News

NEW DELHI: India's abject surrender with the bat in the first innings of the first Test against New Zealand has deeply disappointed former captain Ajay Jadeja. He emphasized that apart from winning the toss, everything seemed to be going against the hosts.
India's batting line-up collapsed after captain Rohit Sharma opted to bat first as they were bowled out for a meager 46 runs. The New Zealand bowlers were relentless in their search for wickets and took advantage of the favorable conditions.

“If we look at today, you only won the toss and lost everything else. Batting was probably the most disappointing “It slipped out of their hands too,” said Jadeja at Colors Cineplex.
He also mentioned that if India were looking at their worst day, it would undoubtedly be and the scorecard reflects that it is a significant moment in history.
“Such a day has come after a long time in Indian cricket and this is happening. You play for almost 365 days, if you count your worst day, today could be that day. The scorecard shows that it is a great day in history. Whatever.” “That's not what the Indian team wanted to achieve today, apart from winning the toss,” Jadeja said.
“I won’t talk about an individual. If there is anything, it is the approach. Only Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant, which is rare when we talk about Rishabh, have come out in defense or on balls that you felt could dismiss you. Apart from that.” “Whether it was Sarfaraz Khan, Rohit Sharma or Yashasvi Jaiswal, the mode was attacking, which as a team you might be disappointed about,” Jadeja added.
