“He was quite comfortable for the right-handers”- Will Young

Will Young of New Zealand described how he dealt with Ravindra Jadeja’s threat during the third Test against India at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium.

“It was just this one particular passage of play [in Mumbai] where Jadeja had brought mid-off up. Most of the series he’d had him back because he was quite comfortable for the right-handers to try to push the ball into the off side and bring the slips into play. But this particular passage of play, Jadeja and Rohit had decided to bring mid-off up,” Young was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.
