In the 3rd ODI match, Virat led Indian Cricket team lost the match by 5 runs against England team. In the close contest, Indian batsmen failed to score the set target of 322. Jadhav smashed a super 90, but Woakes was able to defend six off the last four balls to give England a win.

There was hope when Jadeja found the boundaries and Jadhav scored 10 runs off the first two balls of the final over, but as it turned out, England managed to record their first ODI win at the Eden Gardens.

Ben Stokes was awarded as Man of The Match for his brilliant performance and Jadhav was awarded as Man of the Series.

Speaking in post-match ceremony, Jadhav said “I was planning to play all the six balls. I knew that if I play the six balls the bowler would be under pressure. I was not in a great position to hit the ball and that is why I got out. I think being with Dhoni in the team has helped me to keep things calm. The ball was moving when it was bowled full. In the first game Virat told me this is the time to learn to finish games and that is exactly what I told Hardik today as well. I would have been more happy if we won this game, but it is satisfying. But I can do better than this.”

Pandya has been lucky with both bat & ball all series. Lottery tickets? Give it a shot, brother! #INDvENG

Kedar Jhadav is that kind of power bank who looks small but it can charge mobile within few minutes.#IndvEng

Kedar Jadhav is a product of proper investment of time and opportunity. An aspect lost in Manish Pandey’s case. #IndvEng
