Danish Kaneria was also impressed with Ravindra Jadeja’s selfless attitude for his batting. He could have slammed a double hundred in the match but he chose to declare the innings for the benefit of the team.

“The thing that I liked about him was when he was just 15-20 (25) runs for his double hundred and when Kuldeep Yadav came with the message that you go for it, he said no.
