“That is how it’s with me; generally a hero, generally a zero. The wicket was not straightforward for a brand new batter. Hardik and KL have been nice. Winning the Champions Trophy is a large factor. If you do not win an enormous match after enjoying so lengthy, it hurts,” said Jadeja, who hit the winning runs.

For Shreyas Iyer, who lent solidity to the middle order with his calculated batting, it was a maiden ICC tournament win “Feeling ecstatic. This is my first ICC trophy, type of overwhelmed every and everybody within the dressing room. I like to go below strain, I thrive. Not in a position to get an enormous one (within the closing) however immensely satisfying to contribute to win. These are the fortunate earrings, they’re going to keep on,” the stylish batter said.

Wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who sent back the dangerous Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson in quick succession to give India the upper hand, said managing four spinners in a playing XI is not an easy job.
