And the #Oscar goes to… 😂 Video credits to the one and only @imsohamdesai from my Vaathi coming reel fame.😂😂🤣
"It's great to share this space with him and bowl so many overs in tandem" - Ravichandran Ashwin on his bowling partnership with Jadeja
Speaking at the post-match presentation, Ravichandran Ashwin revealed that Jadeja usually keeps things simple and allows him space to do innovative things on the other end.
When asked about their successful bowling partnership in Test cricket, Ashwin said:
"We were having a 'mic-cheers' just before coming out to talk here. But it's great to share this space with him and bowl so many overs in tandem. Jaddu keeps things extremely simple."
He continued:
"Never fusses about anything at all. We've had a lot of chat about bowling in the last couple of years. Even in this series at various phases, when Travis Head and Usman Khawaja rolling along in the last two games, our converations helped understand things a lot better."
Together this pair has troubled some of the best batting line-ups 🤜🏼🤛🏼🔝
They were lethal here in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy as well 👍
A well deserved Joint Player of the series award for these two gentlemen 👏👏
