India vs New Zealand 3rd Test: India's senior all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja feels it is unfair to blame a single player for the collective 10-minute poor performance on the first day of the third and final Test against New Zealand. India's score went from 78 for one to 86 for four in the final stages of the game. The hosts found themselves in trouble after the dismissals of Rohit Sharma (18), Virat Kohli (04) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (30).

Jadeja told the media after the game ended- 'All this happened in just 10 minutes. We did not get time to react. But it happens, it is a team game, and one person cannot be blamed specifically. Small mistakes keep happening. But now the rest of the batsmen have to make partnerships and try to cross the score of 230 (235). Only then will the second innings start. It would be good if the next batsmen contribute.'

India has a chance to win the match- Jadeja.

Jadeja believes that the Indian team still has a chance to win this Test. He said, 'We still have a chance. It is not that we are out of the match. Hopefully, we will bat well tomorrow. Something is happening on the wicket, if we also bowl well then it will be good.' Despite the Indian batting order getting out like this once again, Jadeja does not believe that the failure of the specialist batsmen is putting a lot of pressure on the lower order.
