Australian cricketer Greg Chappell praised Ravindra Jadejas efforts in handling the pressure but felt he should have been more proactive while batting with the tail. Although this criticism has often been directed at Jadeja despite his strong performance Chappells viewpoint stands out as he equally blamed captain Shubman Gill for failing to guide Jadeja’s strategy during that crucial phase. Although Jadeja did a good job of shielding Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah Chappell pointed out that if India were to win the game he needed to go for boundaries. He pointed out that merely taking a single each over wouldn’t have been enough especially with minimal contribution from the other end. The Lords Test also provided a telling moment with the way Jadeja was managed late in the match. Left with the tail Jadeja did what many specialist batters do in that situation: he shielded the tail farmed the strike and played conservatively. On the surface it was a disciplined innings. But was it the right one? asked Chappell in his column for ESPNCricinfo. Chappel cites Ben Stokes 2019 knock  as example for India The former India head coach said that Gill should have clearly instructed Jadeja to go for the win while the tailenders were still at the crease. The truth is Jadeja was the only recognised batter left. If India were to chase down the target he had to take calculated risks. His job wasnt to leave balls and collect singles - it was to win the match. That clarity should have come from the dressing room from the captain. He needed to be told directly: You are the man who has to get this done. The tails job is to hang in there with you but you must go for the win. We saw exactly that from Englands Ben Stokes against Australia in Leeds in 2019. In a similar situation he backed himself and produced one of the best innings of the past 50 years. Importantly Stokes played that innings knowing that succeed or fail his team and leadership would have his back. Thats the mindset that needs to be fostered in any great team Chappell added. Ravindra Jadeja batted for a duration of 3 hrs along with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj and added 35 abd 23 runs respectively but it was not enough to win the match. India lost the match by 22 runs. Chappell points finger on Shubman Gills captaincy Chappell pointed finger on Shubman Gill and saidAnd this is where Gills leadership challenge becomes very real. He must start setting those expectations - clearly proactively and consistently. Gill must define what sort of team he wants India to be. The captain sets the tone - not just with words but with actions clarity of purpose and visible standards he added. Chappell highlighted on Gills captaincy and said that Gill needs to quickly acquire the communication skills that great captains possess. Whether in the dressing room on the field or during training he emphasized the importance of calm effective communication. Gill cant lead the team with his batting alone Chappell says; he needs to develop his communication skills to bring the players together give them confidence and gain their trust.
