Asia Cup 2022: We Won't Take Hong Kong Lightly: Ravindra Jadeja

The Men in Blue will play their forthcoming Asia Cup 2022 match against Hong Kong with a positive mindset and will not take them lightly, according to Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, India and Hong Kong will face off in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022.

Despite the fact that the pacers got all of the wickets against Pakistan, the all-rounder claimed that Indian spinners bowled exceptionally well.

The Spinners Also Bowled Well Against Pakistan: Ravindra Jadeja

“We are going to play against Hong Kong with a positive mindset and we will not take them lightly. On a given day, anything can happen in T20Is. We will give our best and play positively,” said Jadeja in a press conference.

“Spinners also contributed. But sometimes it happens that you bowl well and you do not get wickets but fast bowlers do not bowl that well but get wickets. T20I is like that. The pacers get wickets on a full toss sometimes. Everyone bowled well and pacers gave us wickets when we needed them. Hardik Pandya gave us breakthroughs, then Bhuvneshwar took two in an over,” he said on the first game.

“Sometimes, left-arm spinners and leg spinners are bowling, so sending left-handed batters is easy and they can take chances. That is why I was promoted. We had seen their (Pakistan) playing XI, they had a left-arm spinner and leg spinner. So I was aware that I could face this situation. I prepared myself mentally accordingly. Luckily, I went and my knock was crucial,” he further said.

India defeated Pakistan in its last encounter on Sunday by a margin of five wickets. With a victory over Hong Kong on Wednesday, it will be anticipating making the Super Four.
