Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra noted that India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja's form in ODIs has dipped, saying, "Jadeja is playing, but he is not contributing." He added, "If you have a race between Jadeja and Axar Patel in white-ball cricket, I think Axar is ahead." Jadeja scored four runs off five balls in India's first ODI against New Zealand.
