After the match, Ravindra Jadeja reveals how the side got the advantage of the home conditions and also said that the crowd wait for me to get out.
“As a spinner, feels good when the ball is turning and holding. We practise here, we know what’s the ideal length and pace. The visiting team needs time to adapt. We are taking advantage of the home conditions. Everyone’s doing their job. We are doing a good job collectively. (On batting higher) I keep hearing Mahi bhai’s chants. If I bat higher, then the crowd will wait for me to get out. As long as the team wins, I am happy” said Jadeja during post-match conference.
