Jadeja hit 104 without losing to bats before unloading the visitors with four wickets in their second half. “I played a match (test) in India without ash for the first time, so sometimes I found myself thinking, yes, Ash would come and bowl, and then realized he wasn’t there,” Jadeja said after victory. “But Kuldeep (Yadav) and Washy (Washington Sundar) have played so many games, and we can’t call them young children, but it’s a different combination. The tone was set earlier when Indian Pacers, led by Mohammed Siraj, reduced West Hindia to 162 in the first half. Siraj finished with four wickets, supported by a disciplined spell from the remains of the attack. In response, India emphasized control with bats.
