Very harmful Jadeja

“So, I feel they’ve carried out their job and their mindset is de facto good, now we need to play vital matches in the identical approach and hopefully will probably be the identical within the semi-finals and the ultimate as nicely.”
“They’ve picked a workforce that they assume can play on a turning observe, that can give us our greatest likelihood on the high and there’s a good stability and we’ve seen that on and off and that has simply been due to the circumstances, however I feel they’re in a superb place.”
