Jadeja: Test loss won't harm Sri Lanka prep

All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja indicated that the impending series defeat against South Africa will not affect India's next Test series scheduled in Sri Lanka next August. He suggested that achieving a draw in the ongoing Test match would be viewed as a substantial accomplishment for the developing Indian team, highlighting the learning curve for the younger players.

Jadeja elaborated that international cricket presents continuous challenges, and the inexperience of young players like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan becomes particularly noticeable during defeats. He pointed out that while home wins are often downplayed, home losses are magnified, especially with multiple new players in the lineup.

He also commented on the challenging pitch conditions encountered by India after batting first, noting the wicket's favorable turn and bounce for spinners once South Africa established a lead. Jadeja stressed the importance of the batting unit maintaining a positive mindset to play for the entire final day.
