Don't judge this team on basis of one or two bad performances: Jadeja

Senior all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja says that it is unfair to judge the current Indian team on the basis of one or two defeats after consistent good performances at home and abroad in the last three years. Jadeja, who was adjudged 'Player of the Match' for his 3 for 15 against Scotland, was asked in the context of his skipper Virat Kohli's assertion that the team wasn't "brave enough" against New Zealand during their second game which they lost by eight wickets.

So it's not fair to judge us on basis of one or two games," Jadeja said after India's 8-wicket win over Scotland. "In T20 cricket, any team can have an odd bad game or two but you can't think too much about those defeats. You have to move on and think about the opportunities ahead. We will take the positives from those two games and look to play well in future games," he added. India playe
