In the lead-up to the decisive third ODI against New Zealand, Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj has voiced strong confidence in his teammate, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, stating that Jadeja is just a wicket away from rediscovering his form. Jadeja has been unable to make significant breakthroughs in the ongoing series, remaining wicketless in the initial matches.

Despite these challenges, Siraj believes that Jadeja, known for his impressive ODI record, will return to his best soon. He underlines the importance of execution at critical moments, which was a shortfall in the second ODI, allowing New Zealand to level the series.

Looking ahead to the final match, Siraj remains confident in the team's capabilities and stresses that a single breakthrough, particularly against batsmen like Daryl Mitchell who have consistently challenged India, could tilt the match in India's favor.
