"Without Jadeja... it's probably hurt us a little bit there. He's a player you can't actually replace. He bats, bowls and field. Hopefully we get Jaddu back in, it might make a difference"

Its a big news for Gujarat Lions who have lost both their matches in IPL and Jadeja's inclusion in the team can be a big boost for the team.
