Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja (5-65), who played a crucial role in India bowling out New Zealand for 235 in the first innings of the third Test on Friday, was highly appreciative of the Wankhede pitch. “I got good turn and bounce. The ball was skidding as well, once it pitched. Sometimes on turning tracks, you don’t get wickets; you are [just] beating batters regularly. Sometimes, the ball turns too much. What you need is slight turn where it takes the edge of the bat. Sometimes luck is important,” Jadeja explained.
