Steve Smith got nervous before the start of BGT, said- I get irritated with Jadeja
Let us know what else Smith said about Jadeja (Image Credit- Twitter X) Indian cricket team’s all-rounder player Ravindra Jadeja is one of the best all-rounder players not only in India but also in world cricket. After winning the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Jadeja said goodbye to the T20 International format. However, at present Jadeja is an important part of the ODI and Test team of the Indian cricket team. Jadeja proved his usefulness in the recently concluded Test series against Bangladesh. Apart from this, the way Jadeja remains active on the field, there is always a fear among the players of the opposing team. On the other hand, now Steve Smith, who is very active on the field, has recently given a big statement regarding Ravindra Jadeja. Smith has admitted that Jadeja can intimidate anyone because of his excellence on the field. Smith also says that he is very fast in fielding and bowling. Steve Smith gave a big statement Let us tell you that before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Test series between India and Australia, Steve Smith said in a discussion with Star Sports – I get angry with Jadeja on the field only because he is a very good player. He always finds a way to get into the fight, whether it’s scoring runs, taking wickets or taking spectacular catches. I get a little irritated with Jadeja sometimes, but he is a very good player. Also, let us tell you that this is not the first time when someone has been impressed by the all-round game of Ravindra Jadeja. Before Smith, Australian bowler Josh Hazlewood has also accepted Jadeja’s game. Well, it will be worth watching that when India goes on Australia tour for five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) later this year, how is Jadeja going to perform?

Both these players have left their mark in Test cricket as well. While on one hand Virat Kohli would like to give his best performance for India in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024, on the other hand Steve Smith would also like to make a significant contribution to his team’s victory. Experienced all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has put forth his opinion about the fierce clash between these two players. According to Glenn Maxwell, both these batsmen will prove to be key players for their respective teams in the upcoming Test series. During a recent conversation with Star Sports, Glenn Maxwell said, ‘Both these players are superstar batsmen. Both of them will be seen performing brilliantly in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The biggest thing is that both the batsmen are in tremendous form at the moment and it will not be so easy to stop them. Both of them will be seen scoring a lot of runs. Even if this does not happen, both these players are the best batsmen of our generation and an exciting battle will be seen between them.

Steve Smith’s opening slot in Australia team in danger due to poor performance, know what coach Andrew McDonald said?
Smith has not been able to impress as an opener in the last four Test matches Steve Smith (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to start between India and Australia. It is worth noting that this time this series is going to start in Australia from 22 November. Along with this, fans are curious to know whether Steve Smith will be seen opening in this series or not? So, recently the team’s head coach Andrew McDonald has made a big statement regarding Smith’s opening batting position in the Australian Test team. McDonald says that he has not yet reached any final decision, but discussions are going on around it. Andrew McDonald gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently while talking to SEN about Steve Smith’s opening slot in the Australia Test team, Andrew McDonald said – This is the question on everyone’s lips. Although we are keeping an eye on it, we have not taken any concrete decision about it. There is a lot of speculation about it. But it is in discussions, I would be lying if I said there are no talks going on. There is a lot of conversation going on about what will happen in Test cricket in terms of the coming summer. McDonald further said- Obviously, if we make a change with Steve Smith, then someone else will have to go for opening batting. We have seen Cameron Green succeed at number four. There are some layers added to taking such decisions, but at the moment nothing is confirmed and decided. On the other hand, if we talk about Smith’s performance as an opener, in the last four matches he has played, he has scored a total of 171 runs at a modest average of 28.50, which is much less than his career average (56.97). He has been handling this role in the Australian team since David Warner retired.
Former coach wants to see Steve Smith at number-4 in BGT 2024-25, said- “This is the right position for him…”
I think he is best suited to bat at number four for the Australian cricket team – Justin Langer Steve Smith (Photo Source: X/Twitter) After David Warner’s retirement from the Test format, Steve Smith expressed his desire to open and the management backed him and gave him that position. But Smith has not been able to show anything special in the opening position so far. He scored 91 runs in the Gaba Test against West Indies, which is his first fifty-plus score in four innings while opening. Smith’s average as an opener in Tests is 28.50, which is much less than his 56.97 in this format. Meanwhile, former Australia head coach Justin Langer feels that Steve Smith should return to number four in the next Test series, which is against India. He has said that the experienced batsman will definitely improve as an opener, but Smith will do better at number four. Smith’s opening partner Usman Khawaja also feels that the veteran should bat at number four. Steve Smith can bat at any number: Justin Langer Speaking on the Cricket et al podcast, Justin Langer said, He is our greatest player, great players adapt to conditions, they can bat at any position. I think he is best suited to bat at number four for the Australian cricket team. Justin Langer further said, I think it is a specialised position (No. 4). It is not that he cannot do it (open the batting). I would love to see him bat at No. 4, but then they have to work out who will not play. I think it was about trying to bring Cameron Green up. Australia is scheduled to play a five-match Test series against India under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy from November. The Kangaroo team had to face a 2-1 defeat in the last two Test series against India at home. The team is desperate to give a crushing defeat to Rohit Sharma and company in the upcoming series. Skipper Pat Cummins has already confirmed that he will back all-rounders in the five-match series and if he wants to keep both Cameron Green and Mitchell Marsh in the team, Smith will remain in the playing XI as an opener.
