Ravindra Jadeja hits back after Kapil Dev calls Indian players 'arrogant'

Star India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja responded to former captain Kapil Dev's dig on the team becoming 'arrogant', saying "people make such comments when India lose matches".

Recently, Kapil, India's 1983 World Cup-winning captain, said that arrogance has crept into the current Indian team and the players feel they know everything.

Talking to reporters on the eve of the series-deciding third ODI against the West Indies in Tarouba, Trinidad, Jadeja said the players were only focussed on winning for India and have no personal agenda.

"Everyone has their own opinion. Ex-players have full right to share their opinion, but I don't think there is any arrogance in this team," Jadeja said.

"Everyone is enjoying their cricket and everyone is hard-working. No one has taken anything for granted. They are giving their 100 per cent. Such comments generally come when Indian team loses a match," the Indian all-rounder said, referring to the team's defeat to Australia in the World Test Championship final.
