Saurav Ganguly asserted that the inning played by Kedar Jadhav was extraordinary and was better than the 122 run stretch by Virat Kohli. He said “What a way he’s done it. I thought he played better than Virat Kohli. We always talk of Virat Kohli, but as I said, he played a better knock. Je came in under pressure 63 for 4. It’s different coming at 31 for/1 and 63 for 4. So you got to give credit to Jadhav. He was exceptional.”
