Ravindra Jadeja has shown great temperament and skills as a batter in Test cricket in recent past and has played some big knocks. However, against the Kiwis, he has not been able to convert his starts, and the same thing has happened on Day 2 of the final Test at Wankhede, where Jadeja fell for 14 off 25 balls.

The Southpaw was churning up a decent stand with Shubman Gill and India needed him to bat long. However, on the fifth ball of the 47th over, Glenn Phillips tossed up a delivery, on the off-stump line from 'round the wicket. Jadeja pushed forward to defend it, but the ball went off the outside off of his blade to the first slip. Daryl Mitchell there took a sharp catch and India lost their sixth wicket for a score of 203.

India Falter After A Good Start On Day 2

Sarfaraz Khan then departed in the next over for a duck, and India after a good start in the opening session of Day 2, have lost their way again. The match is moving in an interesting direction with New Zealand fighting it out with the ball after getting bowled out for 235 in the first innings.

Shubman Gill is batting well for India under pressure and Rishabh Pant gave him good company in the opening session with aggressive knock of 60. In the first innings, Ravindra Jadeja picked up a five-wicket haul, but India needed him to deliver with the bat as well, which unfortunately he has not been able to do.
