Bedi additionally defined how Jadeja can eradicate the difficulty.

“He still bowls no-balls, which is completely unacceptable for a spinner. His back leg should be behind the back crease during the delivery,” Bedi had advised the Times of India, then.

Often, Jadeja slips previous the again crease to ship and finds his entrance heel pushed exterior the popping crease with no a part of the raised heel behind the road. In Bedi’s telling, it’s so simple as making certain he stays behind the again crease (one on the road of the stumps) throughout the supply.
