Jadeja's timing is bad! (PC-PTI)
Ranji Trophy: Ravindra Jadeja was expected to perform well in the Ranji Trophy match against Punjab but it did not happen. Ravindra Jadeja could score only 7 runs at Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot. This left-handed batsman, who came to play for Saurashtra, could stay on the crease only for 6 balls and in the 17th over, Jas Inder's best ball took his wicket. Like Jadeja, other batsmen of his team also could not do anything special and in the first innings, Saurashtra team collapsed for 172 runs in just 47.1 overs.
The biggest loss to Saurashtra was left arm spinner Harpreet Brar, who took 6 wickets for just 38 runs.Saurashtra team came to bat first and its opener Chirag Jani was out on the ball of Sanveer Singh, he could score only 8 runs. Harvik Desai could also score only 13 runs and he was hunted by Harpreet Brar. After this Vasavada was out on just 2 runs. Ravindra Jadeja came to bat at number five, it seemed that this player will save the team from trouble but he was out after playing a very bad shot on the ball of Jas Inder.
Left arm spinner Harpreet Brar was seen wreaking havoc on the Rajkot pitch.
He dismissed Prerak Mankad, Kotak, Jai Gohil, Parth Bhoot, Dharmendra Jadeja and Harvik Desai. Brar not only took wickets but he also made the Saurashtra team yearn for runs. This player bowled dot balls almost 80 percent of the time, which is an amazing figure. Let us tell you that today Harpreet Brar is the champion bowler of Punjab team, but there was a time when he had to face rejection 7 times for entry in Punjab's Ranji team.This is Harpreet Brar's third first class match and he has taken 14 wickets in 4 innings.
This player achieved a five wicket haul for the first time in his career. This is the best bowling performance of his career. Brar is considered a specialist bowler of T20 format. He has taken 102 wickets in 102 T20 innings. He has 20 wickets in his name in List A.
