Star Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja’s sister, Naynaba Jadeja, expressed her hopes for her brother’s outstanding performance in the ICC World Cup 2023. Naynaba emphasized Ravindra Jadeja’s excellent form in recent tournaments like the Asia Cup and the IPL.

Ravindra Jadeja played only two matches in the 2019 World Cup as the team management preferred two wrist spinners. However, the left-arm spinner improved his performance to become one of India’s most important players in the upcoming World Cup at home.

Ravindra Jadeja Is In Great Form – Naynaba Jadeja

Speaking to ANI, Naynaba said that Ravindra Jadeja has been in great form, hoping for strong contributions from him in both batting and bowling during the tournament.

“I hope that Ravindra Jadeja will play excellent cricket in this ODI World Cup. He is in great form. Starting Asia Cup to IPL, he has displayed an excellent all-round performance. I hope that his batting and bowling will be good in the upcoming tournament as well,” Naynaba Jadeja told ANI.

He Should Be Visible On The Field – Naynaba Jadeja

Naynaba expressed her desire to see Ravindra Jadeja on the field, whether as a bowler or a batsman. She also wished good luck to other Indian players in the ODI World Cup squad.

“My wish is to always see him on the field be it as a bowler or as a batsman, he should be visible on the field,” she added.

“The way Ravindra Jadeja has played cricket, there is a lot of hope that in the upcoming ODI World Cup, he will play his best cricket for India. I hope that India’s other batsmen and bowlers taking part in this World Cup will be able to perform in the tournament. Our batsmen are in great form and the bowlers are also doing their duty.”

He Has Proved To Be A Better Batter – Naynaba Jadeja

Naynaba highlighted that Ravindra Jadeja has consistently performed well with his improved batting skills, regardless of his position in the team.

“Ravindra has proved to be a better batsman than before. He has shown his talent in batting and is working very hard. Be it ODI or Test cricket, an all-rounder always performs well. Whenever he gets a chance, whether he is batting at number 7 or number 8, he has tried to play his best for the team,” she concluded.

The Rohit Sharma-led team will face England in their first warm-up match at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on Saturday, September 30. The hosts will take on the Netherlands in their final practice match in Thiruvananthapuram on October 3.
