Jadeja spoke about his match-winning performance and revealed that his plan along with Santner was to bowl in the good areas and they keep advising each other. Speaking at the post-match presentation, he said:
“When we were bowling, the odd ball was turning. So me and Mitch wanted to bowl in good areas because they have so many powerhitters. Everytime we come here, the wicket plays different – sometimes it is flat, sometimes it is sticky. (On partnership with Santner) We surely discuss, whoever starts advises the other person on what lengths to bowl. We keep talking and advising each other.”
