Says the team management has clearly stated the need for him to bat at No. 6
Towards the end, Kedar Jadhav was treating the crowd to his party pieces: a short ball from Pat Cummins was helped over the wicketkeeper’s head, a full delivery from Nathan CoulterNile was effortlessly chipped over long on, and Adam Zampa was driven insideout into the cover boundary.
Jadhav is a short man but he generates great power in his shots. After he chose to accelerate on Saturday, his last 51 runs came off 41 balls, with six fours and a six struck in that phase.
It was a fine display of Jadhav's qualities as a finisher, as he and M.S. Dhoni hauled India to victory over Australia in the first ODI here with a pair of halfcenturies.
Filling the slot
"I've been batting at No. 6 for more than two years," he said later. "Since the series against England in India (January 2017), the team management has been looking at me as a finisher. They have clearly told me, 'You will be batting at No. 6 till the time you are there'.”
