Border-Gavaskar Trophy: Got to know about R Ashwin’s retirement when he went for the press conference, says Jadeja

The Hindu  

After a long stint at the nets followed by a workout in the gym, Ravindra Jadeja gulped a beverage and had a tiny bite of a savoury to fortify himself. Well that’s Ashwin, only he knows what’s in his head,” Jadeja said with a bemused smile. Asked for a self-appraisal following his performance in the third Test at Brisbane, that included a none for 95 with the ball and a solid 77 with the bat, Jadeja had his response in order: “If I make runs for the team, then it gives me good satisfaction. Whether batting or bowling, I have to react to the situation of the match.” Queried about his responsibility as a player, Jadeja said: “My role in the latest match will be the same as my last match. Rohit told me a day before that I am playing the third Test.” With the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series level at 1-1, Jadeja reflected on a roller-coaster sojourn Down Under: “The good thing is after three matches, we are 1-1 in this series, and the two remaining games will be interesting.” And when probed about his batting colleagues up the order, he added: “When we play in Australia and South Africa, for instance, it is important that we have runs from the top-order, and if that doesn’t happen then there is pressure and more responsibility on the lower-order.
