Ashwin Urges Rohit to Prove Critics Wrong, Lauds Jadeja’s Exceptional Talent Ahead of Champions Trophy

Ravichandran Ashwin Addresses Concerns on Rohit Sharma’s Form

Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin recently discussed the increasing concerns surrounding Rohit Sharma’s form as the Champions Trophy approaches. In a candid conversation, Ashwin emphasized that Rohit must respond to the critics with consistent performances on the field.
“This is not easy. If you look at it from Rohit’s point of view, then obviously, it is frustrating for him. He wants to concentrate on the series and believes he can perform,” Ashwin stated. Rohit’s recent outing in the first ODI against England saw him scoring only two runs after returning from a self-imposed break, which has only amplified the scrutiny he faces.
“But people will ask questions. The ones who are watching will obviously ask. It’s a catch-22 situation. You can’t stop these questions. When will they stop? When he performs,” he added, highlighting the pressure athletes face in high-stakes environments.

Ravindra Jadeja: A Gifted All-Rounder

In the same discussion, Ashwin praised the exceptional talent of all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, considering him to be more gifted than himself. Jadeja’s performance in the first ODI, where he took three wickets for 26 runs and contributed 12 runs, showcased his pivotal role in the Indian team.
“Our media fails to appreciate when a player does well. Jadeja always goes under the radar. He is a ‘Jackpot Jango’,” Ashwin remarked. He further commended Jadeja’s physical fitness and ability to perform under pressure, stating that he is a born athlete capable of covering vast areas on the field.

Looking Ahead

With the second ODI against England scheduled for Sunday, Rohit’s form remains a critical focus for the Indian team. Meanwhile, Jadeja continues to be an invaluable asset, ready to contribute significantly as the Champions Trophy draws near.
