India will win the Asia Cup match against Pakistan today, and Ravindra Jadeja will be the man of the match!
A very bold prediction may seem to many. There has been a lot of discussion in the cricket world about this India-Pakistan match for quite some time. That's what always happens when two arch-rivals meet. The discussion about who can be the hero of this match is accumulating. It's happening this time too. If you make a list of the names of the players of the two teams in that discussion, Jadeja might be a little behind.
One reason, it cannot be said that Jadeja is at his best in T20. In the four matches played in the last two series against England and West Indies, his runs with the bat were 46*, 7, 16, 27 respectively. No wickets with England, 2 wickets in 2 matches against West Indies.
Another reason is Jadeja's record against Pakistan. Jadeja, who has never played a Test against Pakistan, has previously played 14 matches in ODIs and T20Is combined. He scored only 131 runs at an average of 18.71. 14 wickets with ball, average 36.85. Both are worse than his career averages. That Jadeja will be the hero of victory against Pakistan today, it is not a bold prediction!
However, all cricket predictions are no longer made by looking at form and statistics. How many coincidences happen here. Jadeja will be man of the match today - this prediction is also such a coincidence keeping in mind and the biggest manager there is Virat Kohli!
Are you surprised? What is Kohli's relationship with Jadeja being man of the match again!
Now jump cut and come to March this year. Rohit Sharma's India will play the first Test of the series against Sri Lanka in Mohali. That Test was also special for Kohli, who had previously given up the Test captaincy of India. On that day, one of the best batsmen of the time and maybe of all time played his 100th test of his career. Kohli got a chance to bat in just one innings for India, who won the Test by an innings and 222 runs, scoring 45 runs. Who is the real hero of the match, maybe many people remember now. Ravindra Jadeja played the highest innings of Test career in that match, he was unbeaten on 175 runs. He also took 9 wickets in two innings (5/41, 4/46). Jadeja was once again the man of the match in Kohli's milestone match.
