I enjoyed bowling on this track: Ravindra Jadeja

Star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has revealed that he enjoyed bowling on the track in Dubai tonight against the Scotland side. Jadeja played a significant role in India's victory. he picked up three crucial wickets in the middle phase and broke the backbone of Scotland's batting order. This was his career-best performance in T20Is.

After receiving the player of the match award at the post-match presentation, Jadeja reflected on India's performance and said:

"I enjoyed bowling on this track. Odd ball was spinning, odd ball was turning. I think the first wicket was special. Whenever you get the batter out on a turning ball, it is special. We were looking to play a good brand of cricket. Everyone knows that we need to win by a big margin and we were looking to play our best. Everyone is happy. If we play like this, nobody can beat us. In T20 format, we have to play like this."

Virat Kohli-led side will now face Namibia in their final super 12 match on Sunday. Even if they win this contest, Team India might get eliminated if New Zealand wins against Afghanistan on Sunday evening.
