Jadeja heaps praise on Dhawan
After an inspired performance from the Indian team, Ajay Jadeja picked the spoils and said, “You’ve got to catch up. Sometimes as a senior player you tend to take it easy, you’ve been around for so long… You stagnate at a certain place.
“But when that next generation comes, it starts pushing you. The first time was when Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly came in and the next change was when Yuvraj, Sehwag and Dhoni came in. And you can see the same with Shikhar,” Jadeja added.
While Ajdeja later compared Dhawan’s maturity to Sachin’s approach and said, “A good example is going back to Sachin Tendulkar. Think of him when Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni and all these guys came in. He did exactly the same thing in his career.
“He had to reinvent himself, changed the pace at which he was playing the game to keep up with the younger lot,” Jadeja concluded.

Set a small target of 190, Shikhar Dhawan and Shubman Gill slammed an unbeaten 190-run stand to chase that down in 31 overs. Before that, Deepak Chahar and Axar Patel starred with three wickets each.
India began chasing an easy target of 190 rather slowly. The first surprise was Shubman Gill opening with Shikhar Dhawan instead of KL Rahul, who will soon be departing for Dubai for the Asia Cup. But Shubman Gill once again ensured, no new ball practice for KL Rahul. Despite a slow start, scoring at under 4 runs an over in the powerplay, both Gill and Dhawan took charge.
