The team has collectively failed to deliver in the first three matches but the indivila performance of Ravindra is also very far from his best. The cricketer has scored 26, 17, 0, in his three innings with the bat while got just one wicket in the tournament so far with the ball, which one doesn't expect from Jadeja, who has been phenomenal in the last two years in international cricket.
