3rd ODI: Ravindra Jadeja Speaks About "Crucial" Partnership With Hardik Pandya | Cricket News
After registering a 13-run win over Australia in the third and final One Day International, India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja on Wednesday said that the partnership between him and Hardik Pandya was very crucial looking at the context of the match. While India opened their account in the ODI Super League with this win, Australia took the series 2-1. Now, both the sides will face off in the three-match T20I series, beginning Friday. Jadeja played an unbeaten knock of 66 runs and he stitched a partnership of 150 runs with Pandya to take India’s score to 302/5.
“The plan was simple, Hardik and I kept on talking about how to build the partnership. We both knew that were no frontline batsmen left after us. We were aware of not losing any wickets and both of us were looking to play till the end. It was very crucial that we took the team to a respectable score,” Jadeja told Yuzvendra Chahal in an episode of ‘Chahal TV’.
Jadeja also managed to take the crucial wicket of Aaron Finch, and he ended up with the figures of 1-62 in his quota of ten overs.
Talking about his bowling, Jadeja said: “I was thinking about bowling stump-to-stump. There was little turn on offer so I tried to utilise that.”
