Ravindra Jadeja's tenacious performance against England at Lord's greatly impressed former England captain Jos Buttler. With the tailenders Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj at his side, Jadeja made a brave attempt to bring the game down to the wire. Nonetheless, England maintained their composure and responded at crucial times to secure a difficult victory. The seasoned all-rounder kept one end up and made an unbroken 61 off 181 deliveries, which kept India in the game after tea.

Jadeja, on the other hand, was commended by Buttler for his fortitude during the chase, as he held one end while wickets were collapsing from the other.

"Jadeja is an amazing cricketer," Buttler said on His new podcast with Stuart Broad is titled "For the Love of Cricket."

"India turns to him as one of its players. In this run chase, you kind of knew he was going to be a main character since he has that kind of personality, and he is the one who has that bit of something about him. He engages in combat. He's always there when it counts, he said.

At Lord's, the English wicketkeeper batter went so far as to compare Jadeja to the legendary MS Dhoni for his approach to building his innings and extending the game.

"Whereas Jadeja has that sort of stickability and ‘I’m going to try and be here till the end,’ if KL Rahul was going to be the calm guy to try and take it through, Pant was probably going to be the opposite—with a bit of dash and trying to win it in an hour." Buttler said, "It was actually Dhoni-style, just like, 'I'm going to hope you crack first.'"

The bond between Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Siraj was evidence of his tenacity. Jadeja received assistance from the tail end, with India in a precarious position at 112 for 8 in pursuit of 193. He and Bumrah turned a likely defeat into a close battle with a crucial 35-run partnership that lasted 22 overs. Siraj entered the game after Bumrah's dismissal, and the two continued to annoy England, bringing the contest to a conclusion following Tea, but Shoaib Bashir ended the stalemate by taking Siraj's wicket and securing the victory for England.

Buttler was taken aback by the way Jadeja bowled with the tail and gave Bumrah, Siraj, and others the assurance by allowing them to strike.

“I was most impressed by his approach and his dedication to his strategy. I believe that his unwavering faith in Nos. 10 and 11 worked wonders for them. When you give someone trust and say, "We can do this," I believe they buy into that. We will win the game by doing this," he said.

"Jadeja provided Bumrah and Siraj with a definite function."

However, during his strategy to advance the game with the Indian tail, Butler went on to talk more about Jadeja's conviction.

Jadeja gave them a clear mandate: "This is what I need from you." Two very feisty, competitive, and proud men, Bumrah and Siraj, risked their physical well-being. They are definitely not the greatest hitters, but it seems like they will figure it out.

"What stood out to me was not whether he was correct or incorrect, but rather the conviction he had in his plan and the manner in which he was going to carry it out, even if it was likely a plan that no one else considered valuable," he stated.
