2nd Test: Jadeja Showed Intent And Stayed Mobile At The Crease, Says Varun Aaron
After Yashasvi Jaiswal's 87, Indian captain Shubman Gill held the one end strong but lacked support from the other end after losing Rishabh Pant (25) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (1) in quick succession. However, Jadeja proved to be a reliable partner for Gill (114 not out) and the duo stitched an unbroken 99-run stand for the sixth wicket to take India's total to 310/5 at the stumps.
“I thought Jaddu’s body language was brilliant. From ball one, he was looking to rotate strike, show intent, and stay mobile at the crease. He didn’t just try to grind it out ball after ball — he was actively looking to make things happen. What stood out was how he approached Bashir. Normally, he’d play him cautiously, but today he took calculated risks — and that’s what mattered. He made sure the scoreboard kept moving. By the final session, India were scoring close to four runs an over — and that’s exactly where you want to be. As Ravindra Jadeja, when you're guiding the lower order, you want to be solid but also bring some aggression," Aaron said on JioHotstar.
