Jadeja's role has been significant

              

   As everybody says, nobody on a cricket field can inspire you more than Sachin Tendulkar. But it was a different story on the final day of the third Test match during the death overs. MS Dhoni was at the crease with Tendulkar as Mitchell Starc and Peter Siddle all of a sudden began bowling the best spell of the series as a pair. While Tendulkar was trying his best to release the pressure with some strokes, MS Dhoni was finding it difficult to connect his bat with the ball, let alone hitting boundaries. The pressure was mounting. As a result of which Tendulkar ended up being run-out.Another appreciable aspect of Jadeja in the series has been his fielding. The Moises Henriques’ run-out in the first Test and then a caught and bowled in the third were a treat to watch. He has got team whenever the ball was thrown at him. The tenth-wicket partnership in the second innings at Mohali had begun to bother Team India before Jadeja eventually ended Starc’s resilience at the crease.In came Ravindra Jadeja. He had a short conversation with his skipper, who was in no position to offer him any advice to tackle the Australian pacers. Jadeja launched the second ball over long off for a much-needed boundary and dispatched the next for another four. The two shots were enough to bring the Mohali crowd back on their feet and there was no looking back from there on as Dhoni’s willow produced three consecutive boundaries off Mitchell Starc’s next over. The series was won and it was clear that those two shots from Jadeja released the pressure, and once again we were reminded of his substantial contribution in the series.
