'He is an X-Factor: Bowling Coach Morne Morkel Explains What Makes Ravindra Jadeja So Invaluable

Team India was an absolute trailblazer on Day five of the India vs Bangladesh Test in Kanpur, UP. At the Green Park Stadium, the Men in Blue laid out absolute carnage when they came in to bat. Given that two days were wasted due to the wet outfield and incessant rainfall, they had to make use of the remaining days at full capacity. The Indian Cricket Team made use of the 'bazball' strategy in the most appropriate way possible against the Bangla Tigers. But Team India's bowling coach, Morne Morkel, pointed out one of the team's biggest positives, who is an absolute X-Factor for the side.

While addressing the media after Day 4 of the India vs Bangladesh match, Morne Morkel heaped praise on Ravindra Jadeja and deemed him as an all-around package and an x-factor player.

"For me, he is a complete package. He bats, he bowls, he is a guy in the field who can make magic happen. He is an X-Factor player. He is a guy you always want in your team, and he has done that for so many years for India.

"Yeah, to join the 300 Test wickets club is a special club. He has put in performances for India, and he is a guy that works on his game. That is what you want to see. So happy for him to reach that milestone," Morkel said in the post-day press conference.

Team India looked like there were taking all possible measures to secure a win against Bangladesh . They were good with the ball but were phenomenal with the bat when Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal took the mantle and. The India bowling coach revealed the team's mindset and what they had planned before entering the match.

"That was our message this morning [to go for a win]. With losing two days of the Test, how do we start this morning? To show that positive intent was going to be key. Two days left in the Test match, extended sessions, there's still a lot of cricket, lot of time left in the game," Morkel said.
