Kedar Jadhav sister pleased with performance in Pune

Kedar Jadhav was the toast of the town when it came to his phenomenal batsmanship in the first ODI in Pune. This came at a time when the 31-year old had to call on his character to ensure that there Indians did not capitulate to the bowling of England. Jadhav also quite clearly had a cramp as well, but this would eventually go on to prove to show some character as he would eventually be one of those who led the Indians to a win.

Jadhav’s sister Suchita Jadhav, who was preinion sent in the stadium to watch her brother bat gave her opinions on the way her brother batted on the day.

“Virat is the best batsman, finisher, as well as an aggressive batsman. I was confident that he will be able to put up good performance with Kohli. When he was nearing 100 runs, he was facing difficulty while running. Still he managed to build a 100-run partnership with Kohli and then a 200-run partnership. They were well supported by Hardik Pandya and Ravichandran Ashwin in their chase of 351-run target,” she said.

Kedar Jadhav also went on to state that the feeling to score a century in front of his home ground is something that is amazing to say the least. “It’s a great feeling that I could win a game for my country in front of my home crowd, and in front of my family. If you can make your team win, make your country proud, that’s the greatest feeling.”

“I could play this long because of captain Virat Kohli. He has done it so many times, showing how to chase big totals. I missed many chances to bat with Virat and watch him bat closely in the past, so today was the chance. It is a special day for me. Running with Virat is tough. Cramps are fine now and I am feeling better now.” The two teams will next meet on January 19 at Barabati Stadium in Cuttack.
