Jadeja's Poor Form: All-rounder Under Scrutiny After New Zealand Series Defeat

• Team India faced defeat in the ODI series against New Zealand, raising concerns about player performance.
• Ravindra Jadeja, the all-rounder, had a disappointing series, failing to take a single wicket in 5 matches.
• Jadeja scored only 43 runs across three matches (4, 27, 12), failing to reach 50 runs in total.
