NEW DELHI: Star India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja on Saturday highlighted how the lack of runs from the top-order puts pressure on the lower-order and called for an improved performance from the batting unit in the Boxing Day Test. Jadeja played a key role in the rain-affected third Test against Australia in Brisbane, scoring a determined 77 in the first innings to help India secure a draw.
"Top-order runs are very important when you play outside India, especially in Australia and South Africa. When the top order doesn't score runs, the responsibility and pressure increase on the lower order," Jadeja said during an interaction at the MCG.
