In a video shared by the ICC, Jadeja stated, “I know that I have the temperament and ability to score big runs.”
Jadeja also mentioned his recent all-round performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, where he scored 135 runs at an average of 27 and took 22 wickets.

“I am in good rhythm, I would say. After a five-month hiatus due to injury, I made a comeback and played four games against Australia in India. I performed well, taking wickets and scoring runs,” Jadeja shared.

He further explained how his batting position for India differed from his U19 days, saying, “During my U19 days, I used to bat at number four. However, when I made my debut, our middle order was so strong that I couldn’t secure a spot at numbers five or six. As a result, I batted at number seven or sometimes eight.”
