Ravindra Jadeja Reflects on Early Confidence Struggles Due to Batting Order
Ravindra Jadeja, now a key all-rounder for India in Test cricket, revealed that early in his international career, his confidence was shaken due to being assigned lower batting positions, sometimes as low as No. 8 or 9. Despite a strong domestic record with a batting average over 60, Jadeja felt the team lacked confidence in his batting initially. He described how sitting next to bowlers while waiting to bat affected his morale, but he has since established himself as a reliable batsman and bowler in the team.
