Virat has been wonderful with the captaincy: Ravindra Jadeja

Star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja opined that Virat Kohli did a fantastic job as skipper of the Indian T20I team and revealed that he relished playing under Kohli's leadership. Speaking at the post-match conference after receiving his second consecutive player of the match award, Ravindra Jadeja said:

"Virat has been wonderful with the captaincy. I have played a long time with him and I enjoyed playing under him. The support staff has been with us for a long time and they have done a tremendous job. As a unit, we had a wonderful job. Hopefully, we can continue the momentum moving forward."

He added:

"As a bowler, I did enjoy bowling today. The ball was dry. I was enjoying bowling with the dry ball. Some balls were turning, some were going straight. That is also a trick and the batsman has to keep guessing."

Interestingly, Ravindra Jadeja also played under Virat Kohli during the India under-19 team's victorious campaign in 2008. Both players will continue to remain central figures for India in all formats over the next few years.
