Ravichandran Ashwin stated that the all-rounder should have taken slightly more risk while chasing the target on the fifth day's play at Lord's in London.
India equaled England's first innings score of 387 and then restricted the hosts to 192 on the fourth day to set themselves a target of 193 runs with one and a half days remaining.
India's poor performance continued on the fifth day as well, as they lost 8 wickets for 112 runs by lunch and were totally out of the game.
I was messaging a big cricketer throughout the match - Ravichandran Ashwin
In a video shared on his official YouTube channel, Ravichandran Ashwin revealed that he discussed the twists and turns of the Lord's Test with a 'big cricketer' and they were on the same page regarding Ravindra Jadeja's batting. Both Ashwin and the unnamed cricketer felt that Jadeja should have taken slightly more risk while chasing the total.
"He could have picked one moment with Siraj and asked him to go after Bashir because Siraj can hit a clean ball. He can hit a spinner to the leg side with the slope," Ashwin remarked.
You cannot trust the bounce or pace of this pitch - Ravichandran Ashwin
"For the experts that say that he could have shown more intent, I ask, how many times has a batter gone down the ground and went into the dressing room? You cannot trust the bounce or pace of this pitch. All the fielders were standing back. What option does Jadeja have?" Ashwin said.
"I felt he played the correct numbers. Ben Stokes' captaincy was very good. He said 'There's 70 runs. If you want to score one run per over and make this score, please do," added Ashwin.
