He made this disclosure during a post-match interview with the Sony Sports network after the final ODI of the India-Australia series.
Ravindra Jadeja was asked about the special privilege given to him by Virat Kohli to bowl his overs in one stretch, while the other bowlers were made to bowl in three to four spells.
He responded that the intention is to get through as many overs in the second powerplay, considering the restriction of having five fielders in the 30-yard circle.
Ravindra Jadeja added that apart from keeping the runs in check, he is also on the lookout for a couple of wickets.
He reiterated that the aim was to bowl in tight areas after the mauling all the bowlers received in the first couple of matches.
Ravindra Jadeja on the exceptional catch he took to dismiss Cameron Green
Ravindra Jadeja was also asked if he felt relieved after taking an outstanding catch off Kuldeep Yadav’s bowling, keeping in mind the somewhat indifferent performances from him on the field in the last couple of matches.
The athletic fielder responded that he was unable to sleep post the last match, with the images of the dropped catch haunting him.
Ravindra Jadeja signed off by stating that he made up his mind to attack the ball whenever he was presented with a half-chance on the field in today’s encounter.
Ravindra Jadeja put down a sitter off Marnus Labuschagne’s bat at long-off in the second ODI against Australia. He made amends for it in today’s match with a superb diving catch at deep square leg to get rid of a dangerous looking Cameron Green.
