Jadeja said the transition from playing Test cricket to coming and competing in T20 tournaments was the biggest challenge he faced upon his return from England, where he was part of the India Test team.
“It’s difficult. You’ve been playing Test cricket for five months and suddenly you have to play white-ball cricket. That was tough. Even in the nets, I was working on my bat-swing. That’s why I was thinking that I could play in the nets. Whatever I have done will have to be repeated in the match.”
“The runs I got in the second-last over were more important than the wicket because that was a match-winning over for us. Everyone in the team played their part. Rutu (Ruturaj Gaikwad), Faf (du Plessis), they gave us a good start. This is what you need as a team; You need to be collective as a batting and bowling unit.”
To turn the game around, Jadeja hit two sixes and two fours in the final over against the famous Krishna.
“I was just backing up my strength. I knew he (Krishna) was bowling with fine leg and square leg, so he was going to bowl a wide yorker or a slow delivery. So I was waiting for him and he bowled a length ball and I was ready, luckily I joined the middle of the bat and today we are on the winning side.
