The left-arm spin allrounder returned to action after recovering from a knee injury, and in the second T20I against Sri Lanka he blasted his way to a 18-ball 45 not out batting at No 5 to help India notch up a series-clinching seven-wicket win in Dharamsala on Saturday.
“Yes, I’m enjoying batting at number five. I can take my time and I can pace my innings according to the situation,” Jadeja said at the post-match media interaction.

“I would like to thank Rohit because he trusts me and he believes in me that I can go out there and score runs for my team.
“So hopefully whenever I get an opportunity in future I’ll try and do my best, play according to the situation and be in the game for my team.”
