Ravindra Jadeja’s Overs Sacrifice for Jayant Yadav

The veteran spinner stated that skipper Rohit wanted to give Jayant a few overs. And it was Jadeja who agree to give up his overs first.

“In the interim, we both realized Jayant hadn’t bowled much. It’s difficult for someone who is going to be the team’s third spinner, and he has been the team’s third spinner for a while now, because he doesn’t always get a long enough spell. So Rohit wanted to make sure he got some bowling in as well “After the game, Ashwin spoke to Star Sports.

“It takes a few overs for the spinners to bowl, and it was basically a question of who would give up a few overs at that point. Jaddu (Jadeja) decided to try him from the other side where there was a little more spin “He continued.

“And then, after a while, I had to give up on the other side. Being the third spinner in a side can be difficult at times, so we wanted to look after him a little bit. Jaddu was gracious enough to give the ball away first.”
