India, July 15 -- Veteran India all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin praised Ravindra Jadeja for his valiant effort with the bat at Lord's in a tricky chase, but he felt that the left-handed batter should have taken a bit more risk. Jadeja fought the battle alongside tailenders on Day 5 but in the end failed to take India over the line in the thrilling clash. The experienced all-rounder played a crucial rescue act with an unbeaten 61 off 181 deliveries, holding firm and keeping India in the contest just as the game seemed to be slipping away. He stitched crucial partnerships with Jasprit Bumrah (5) and Mohammed Siraj (4) to take the game deep; however, India were left 22 runs short at the end.
