Final Test: An important part of India’s victory in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series was played by Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. In the first two Test matches, the spin pair dominated the Australian team and helped India to a commanding 2-0 lead. India, unfortunately, dropped the third Test at Indore. Yet after the fourth and final Test concluded in a tie, team India won the series.
After the last Test, Ashwin praised teammate Jadeja in an interview with the media, saying that they had both improved as players as a result of playing together.
“The journey has been wonderful. His relationship with Jadeja began years ago, yet none of us would be the same or as deadly without the other. We must acknowledge that, and over the past two to three years, at least, I have begun to do so,” stated Ashwin.
“Credit to him, I felt he bowled wonderfully in the Delhi Test as well, and that’s why we’re here today, he allows me a lot of flexibility to be creative with the ball,” he said.
The seasoned spinner also recalled a day when he has seen Jadeja distraught following his dismissal for 28 in India’s opening innings of the last Test.
Ashwin remarked, “Jaddu (Ravindra Jadeja) keeps it extremely easy, he doesn’t fuss or worry about what has happened, but I watched him sit in one place for an hour after he got out, so that told me how frustrated he was and that showed out today.”
Ravindra Jadeja says, “Bowling with Ashwin feels amazing.”
Jadeja revealed that she and Ashwin had to share a room in the recently finished series. He also acknowledged that he struggled with his batting during the series but promised to improve.
“It’s enjoyable bowling alongside him. Ashwin is disseminating knowledge. How to bowl to a specific batsman and what field to use. With my batting in this series, I’m not too satisfied. Particularly in this Examination, I had a couple of opportunities that I missed. I’ll put in more effort and concentrate on my batting,” said Jadeja.
On Day 5 of the four-match series, the last Test between India and Australia at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad concluded in a draw.
