"That was an incredible fight. The fight from Jaddu, that was absolutely brilliant," Gambhir told Jadeja after India's 22-run loss. 

Jadeja came in at a crucial juncture in the game and batting well with the tail. He took the game into the final session when it seemed England would finish the game much before with two wickets to win for the hosts after lunch.

“His batting has reached another level. In the last two Tests the consistency and the calmness he brought to the dressing room. I’ve watched him for so many years and how he’s developed his game now, his defence is rock solid, looks like a proper batter,” Gambhir’s deputy Ryan ten Doeschate said in the video.

Jadeja would once again be a key figure in the set-up when they play the must-win fourth Test at Old Trafford, Manchester. The game starts on July 23.
