Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Sweep shot not the ideal shot against me on Delhi-like pitch, says Ravindra Jadeja

India Today  

Ravindra Jadeja was elated after leading Australia's demolition with the ball as India secured a six-wicket win inside three days of the second Test to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with a 2-0 lead in the four-match series on Sunday. Jadeja jokingly stated that playing sweep shots was not a good option against his bowling on wickets like Delhi. On a dramatic Sunday morning, Jadeja registered a career-best 7-42 in a devastating spell, but he was helped by some poor shot selection by a panicked Australia batting lineup. Taking advantage of Australia's morning collapse, India chased down the 115 runs required to take a 2-0 lead in the four-match series, with 100-Test veteran Cheteshwar Pujara smashing a four off Todd Murphy to end the match.
