Speaking after the day 02 play Jadeja said, “When you contribute with the bat for the team, it feels great, when you are playing outside India, and the team needs you more, it feels good.”

“From 210 for 5 to put together a big partnership to take the team forward, it is a challenge. I took it as a challenge,” he added.

“If you can stick around with the captain and put together a big partnership, it gives you confidence as a cricketer and a batter that in the coming matches also you can contribute” added Jaadaja.

It will be interesting to see whether India could pull out their bowling strategy to restrict under 400 run mark.
