Kedar Jadhav who came in at number five for India, scored an almost run-a-ball half-century against Australia in the⛎ 4ܫth ODI at M. Chinnaswamy stadium in Bengaluru. However, that was not enough to impress Indian fans as he failed to take his side to win.
The Men in Blue lost the match by 21 runs while chasing 335 even after a great start. Jadhav scored 6🍷9 off 67 balls before getting out in the 46th over leaving Indiaꩲ 49 more runs to win from 26 balls.
The right-hander’s dismissal came at a time when he was well-set and ready to launch the final onslaught. Jadhav’s failure to finish it in India’s favour has irked some of the fans on social media and they now want selectors to bring back Suresh Raina in the team.
Here are some of the Twitter reactions:
bring back Raina.

Kedar Jadhav played for his own record. Not 4 the country. He plays a lot of dot balls in middle o𒈔vers.

And Kedar Jadhav as well. Such 50s are of no use if you don't set the game up. Set batsman = game. Finishers needed only for weak top

Interestingly, it was Jadhav who provided his team with the breakthrough by dismissing Australia’s opener David Warner. Courtesy Jadhav’s bowling, India managed to put brakes on Australia’s scoring. He finished with figures of 1/38 from his seven overs.
But, it look🍸s like fans ha forgot his effort with the ball and just wanted a match-winning knock from Jadhav.
