Despite being the most senior player in the Indian test side, Jadeja was sidelined from the captaincy or vice-captaincy role after Rohit Sharma retired from the format before the start of the India vs England test series.
When Jadeja was informed about the England assistant coach's bold statement on winning the second test, he replied firmly in Hindi, saying, 'Log press conference mai kuch bhi bol sakte hai.' With this reply, he showed intent to win the game at Birmingham and India's not-so-easy-going attitude for the second test.

He made a significant contribution in playing in the 6th wicket partnership, as they together scored 203 runs for India in the middle order. He was dismissed by Josh Tongue's bowling when he gloved a ball back to wicket-keeper Jamie Smith.
"Time is gone now," Ravindra Jadeja responds to Test captaincy talks
The experienced star was asked by the reporters about his views on the India Test captaincy; he, with a cheeky smile on his face, remarked that the time is gone now. This remark also hinted towards Jadeja's growing age and the nearing end to his test career in the coming years.
"Honestly, he looks very confident. He does not look like a captain in batting. He has been given an extra responsibility, he is carrying everything with him. I do not feel anything like that in his batting."
