While chasing 193, India\u2019s top and middle order showed little to no resistance against the uneven bounce on the pitch and left Jadeja with a massive job to do, with the side reeling at 82\/7 at one point. What followed was an extremely gritty innings by the all-rounder as he scored an unbeaten 61 off 181 deliveries but could not get India over the line.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In an exclusive conversation with IANS, Khanna said no one will remember Jadeja\u2019s innings as he could not be a hero.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"We don\u2019t have a batter that can bat with tailenders. Once he was set, maybe he could have scored more runs. I think he will be thinking that he could have made more strokes. When the ball gets soft, Bumrah, Siraj will not be scoring runs, you have to win the match and be a hero. People will forget this 60 (61) not out,\" Khanna told IANS.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
India are now trailing the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 1-2 and now face an uphill task in hopes of coming back to win the series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cThese scores are tricky, when the score is higher, you are more careful. One needs to give credit to England, they brought in Archer and executed what they planned. There was very little to take away from both sides. We can\u2019t be rigid; yes, Sundar got important wickets but I feel Kuldeep Yadav can be a better bet. I always feel that the way the wicket reacts in the fourth innings, Kuldeep can be effective,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
