Former Australian cricketer Greg Chappell feels that Team India's think tank should have given  Ravindra Jadeja a clear message — 'go for the win' — during the third Test match against England at Lord's Cricket Ground.

"The truth is, Jadeja was the only recognised batter left. If India were to chase down the target, he had to take calculated risks. His job wasn't to leave balls and collect singles - it was to win the match. That clarity should have come from the dressing room, from the captain. He needed to be told directly: "You are the man who has to get this done. The tail's job is to hang in there with you, but you must go for the win," Chappell wrote in his column in ESPNCricinfo.
