Ego as a senior..?! Jadeja's act of not trusting Rinku Singh..!?

 In the second T20I against south africa when india batted, india lost two consecutive wickets due to Jadeja's mistrust of Rinku Singh in the last over. This also contributed to the failure in a way. While the target was set by DLS for south africa, the two wickets that india lost in the last over set the target for a slightly easier victory for South Africa. What happened? What did Jadeja do wrong?
India batted first in this match. The openers of the indian team were ducked out. Thilak Verma, who came in at number three, scored 29 runs off 20 balls and was dismissed in 5.5 overs. Rinku Singh came out to bat before the end of the powerplay. suryakumar yadav - Rinku Singh played a great action game. Suryakumar was dismissed after scoring 56 runs. Jitesh Sharma then departs for 1 run. Veteran player ravindra jadeja came in at number seven. He scored runs at a good strike rate.
However, Rinku Singh was one step ahead of him in action. In the 19th over, Rinku Singh was threatening, hitting two sixes off the last two balls. Then ravindra jadeja met the first ball of the last over. Either he should have hit a six, a four or a single run to give the batting strike to Rinku Singh would have been the right decision. Jadeja tried to hit a six off the first ball of the last over. The ball did not cross the boundary line. Instead of stopping after one run, Jadeja called Rinku Singh to run for the second run. But then one run should have stopped and given Ringu Singh a chance to bat. Jadeja didn't do that. Jadeja was dismissed in the second ball of that over. Arshdeep Singh, who came next, gave a catch and was dismissed. india was 180 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 19.3 overs and India's game ended due to rain south africa was set a target of 152 runs in 15 overs by DLS.

Perhaps if the indian team had not lost 2 wickets in the last over, the South African team would have been set a target of more runs. Similarly, if Rinku Singh is given a strike and he hits a six, the South African team will be struggling in the chase by getting a difficult target. It is worth noting that the fall of the wicket plays a big role when the target is set in DLS mode. Jadeja is the reason why india slipped in this regard. Unbelieving of Rinku Singh, Jadeja's attempt to bat went awry as he got the mark of a finisher.
