May 25 (CRICKETNMORE) - Ravindra Jadeja insists India have no reason to be worried despite suffering defeat to New Zealand in their opening warm-up match at The Oval.
India are one of the favourites to win the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup but were bowled out for 179 by a New Zealand side, spearheaded by four wickets for swing bowler Trent Boult.

Kane Williamson’s side duly knocked off the 180-run target with six wickets and almost 13 overs to spare, the captain and Ross Taylor both striking half-centuries.
It marked a disappointing opening for Virat Kohli’s side but with one further warm-up match to come against Bangladesh on Tuesday, there is little cause for concern for Jadeja – India’s top scorer with the bat.
“Whenever you play in England, it’s always difficult,” said the 30-year-old. “You have low bounce in India, then you come here and the wicket can have a little bit in it.
“We still have a little bit of time to work on it, we don’t have to worry, just keep playing our good cricket.
“We focused on momentum, if we get that then we play according to the situation. Batting in England can be tough, as a batting unit we’ll have more focus on our skills.
