    If Someone Had To Take Risk, It Should’ve Been Jadeja, Not Siraj, Says Kumble On Lord’s Heartbreak

    New Delhi: Ravindra Jadeja’s valiant unbeaten 61 at Lord’s in the third Test may go down as one of his finest knocks, but former India captain Anil Kumble believes a crucial tactical misstep at the end may have cost India a miraculous win.

    Speaking after India’s dramatic 23-run loss, Kumble reflected on Jadeja’s heroic effort but said that exposing tailender Mohammed Siraj to a full over from Shoaib Bashir was a decision that backfired at a critical moment.

    “If someone had to take a risk and get out, it should have been Jadeja, not Siraj,” Kumble said, questioning the choice to let Siraj face three deliveries when only 23 runs were needed for victory. “Allowing a full over to Bashir at such a stage was a misstep.”
