This move sparked a debate among the fans and cricket experts, and now Ravichandran Ashwin has also shared his perspective on the situation. The former Indian all-rounder pointed out that Jadeja had been batting patiently all day, as he jokingly said that his former teammate played Matthew Hoggard, Darren Gough, and Andrew Flintoff and had gone towards the draw.

Ashwin signed off by saying, “He wanted to close out. There are two reasons. He didn't want to tire his bowlers out. Secondly, he was like, I am frustrated; I am not happy. So, you should also not be happy. You should also not make 100. These are test runs. They want to get it and deserve it. As a captain, I would have said play all the 15 overs."
