He stayed on the pitch until the first ball of the last over where he got bowled playing a glory short, Jadeja scored a Brilliant 35 runs in 29 balls with two sixes and two fours maintaining an average strike rate of 120.59.

After the match during the post-match interviews, it was host Sanjay Manjrekar’s chance to ask a couple of questions to Jadeja.

Sanjay started by asking “First of all, you’re okay to talk to me, right, Jaddu?

He asked this question because of a few reasons, firstly about the Controversial remarks made Sanjay made during the 2019 world cup where he was seen saying ‘not a big fan of bits and pieces players like Jadeja’ and as the World Cup progressed Sanjay admitted saying “By bits and pieces, he has completely ripped me apart today. By sheer brilliance, he has proved me wrong on all fronts.” That’s why Sanjay started the interview with that kind of question.

Jadeja broke all the odds and proved everyone wrong once again, he came up the batting order and stabilized the innings by not losing wickets. This performance shows that Jadeja will be playing a crucial role in the upcoming matches.

India will be looking to win the Asia Cup and build the moment towards the T20 World Cup in Australia later this year.
