After the second day's play, Ravindra Jadeja praised Gill's innings and said, "Didn't you see how much Shubman Gill has grown? Shubman scored 269 runs. He was unfortunate because today it did not seem that he would get out. We were talking about building a long partnership." 

 

Jadeja further said that Gill's innings put Team India in a strong position. Jadeja also said that patience and technique were seen in his batting. He is a true match winner and his innings put him ahead in the match. 

 

What did Jadeja say on dropping Kuldeep Yadav? Kuldeep Yadav did not get a place in India's playing-11 for the second Test match being played at Edgbaston. The reason behind this was that after the defeat in Leeds, the team was opting for more batting depth. Now, Jadeja spoke openly about dropping Kuldeep. 

 

He said,

 

"Whenever Kuldeep Yadav gets a chance, he will perform well. He is a wicket-taking bowler. I spend time with him, but whenever we go out, we never talk about cricket. A player should always focus on controllable things."

 

When Jadeja was asked about England assistant coach Jeetan Patel's comment that the host team still has a chance to win the second Test, Jadeja said that people say anything in the press conference. His statement makes it clear that he is not taking the reaction of the England assistant coach too seriously.
