New Delhi. Former all-rounder of Team India, Ajay Jadeja has described the Indian cricket team as a much better team than Pakistan. He said that the current head coach of Team India, Gautam Gambhir, does not need anyone’s advice. Nor would he like to take anyone’s advice. Because he has a different image with which he has made his identity. Jadeja said that he is eagerly waiting for the upcoming Test series between India and Bangladesh. He believes that the Indian team will maintain an aggressive attitude in the series against Bangladesh under the supervision of Gambhir and will not give the opponents a chance to put pressure.
India will host Bangladesh (IND vs BAN) for a series of two Test matches and three T20 International matches. This tour of Bangladesh will begin with a Test match starting in Chennai from September 19. When Ajay Jadeja was asked about the team’s approach in the presence of Gautam Gambhir, he said, ‘It is very clear, his approach is aggressive. One thing is certain that there will be no dull moment in his presence, he will always try to do something.’
“I’m looking forward to that adventure”
The 53-year-old former great, who scored 5359 runs in 196 ODIs for India at an average of 37.47, said, “He (Gambhir) will not be a person who stays calm and lets things go. He will try to do something that will surprise everyone. Like we saw Suryakumar Yadav suddenly become the captain. I am waiting for the excitement that we are going to see. ” When Jadeja was asked on the occasion of the annual awards ceremony of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) what advice he would like to give to Gambhir for this Test series, he said, “I hope he will not ask for suggestions. He is there because he has proved himself and he has a point of view. “
‘I hope he doesn’t take anyone’s advice’
According to Ajay Jadeja, ‘I hope he does not take anyone’s advice and does not change his approach because you should trust and stick to what has given you recognition. He can always get better.’ Jadeja worked as a mentor to the Afghanistan team during the 2023 ODI World Cup in India. Bangladesh is coming after winning a historic Test series in Pakistan but Jadeja said that India is a much better team.
‘There is a lot of difference between Pakistan and India cricket team’
He said, ‘Whenever any team wins, it always thinks that it can win but at this time there is a huge difference between Pakistan and India cricket team. India is a much better team. From Bangladesh’s point of view, they will think that if they have defeated Pakistan, they can defeat India as well but India’s team is much better than Pakistan.’
