In a no-contest that lasted 217.2 overs and two and a half days, India eked out influential performances from numerous individuals at the Narendra Modi Stadium. No one stood taller than Ravindra Jadeja, who celebrated his elevation as Shubman Gill’s deputy with an 11th Player of the Match award for another stellar all-round display.

It’s the left-handed all-rounder’s lot that, because he is unassuming and plays his performances down, he hasn’t been the recipient of the effusive praise reserved for more flamboyant colleagues. But that’s not something that will bother the 36-year-old. He sets himself high standards and derives satisfaction from matching or surpassing them. If the accolades come his way, that’s a bonus.
