Jadeja also revealed the reason behind skipper Rohit Sharma declaring the innings when he was 25 short of maiden double-hundred. The all-rounder said it was his decision as the Mohali wicket had started to do all sorts of tricks.
“Yeah there was a message coming from inside and I was also telling them. When I was batting, balls had started taking spin and there was variable bounce. So I told them that the wicket is playing tricks and we can put them [Sri Lanka] into bat,” Jadeja said in the press conference after the gameplay of Day 2.
