Rajkot: Ravindra Jadeja capped off his best year as a batsman in 2019 with 693 runs in 23 innings across all three formats. While his improved performance with the willow is obviously a welcome change, a bit more consistency in his left-arm spin is something former India left-arm spinner Dilip Doshi hoping to see.

Doshi is not happy with the way his fellow Saurashtra spinner is bowling in his comeback to the limited overs format. "He [Jadeja] needs to focus and improve on his bowling further. He needs to be consistent. It is the key to his success. I find that modern day spinners change their action too often according to formats. That spoils their rhythm and hampers their confidence. Spin bowling is all about rhythm. The moment you make those changes, it will have an impact on your bowling," Doshi, 72, told mid-day on Friday while watching the second ODI between India and Australia at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium here.
