Ravindra Jadeja applauds Virat Kohli as the latter plays his last match as T20I captain for the Indian Cricket Team 

Team India end their 2021 ICC T20 World Cup campaign on a good note as they beat Namibia in their last Group 2 match with consummate ease by 9 wickets at the Dubai International Stadium. In what was a dead rubber game for both the teams, Team India were handed a target of 133- which they chased down with 4.4 Overs to spare, riding on convincing half-centuries each from Rohit Sharma (56 off 37) and KL Rahul (54* off 36).

India’s premier all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja bagged his second ‘Player of the tournament’ award in the ongoing T20 World Cup. He yet again impressed one and all and returned with bowling figures of 4-0-16-3. He along with off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin (4-0-20-3) were instrumental in restricting the Namibian total to 132/8 in their 20 Overs.

Ravindra Jadeja, while receiving his player of the trophy award praised Virat Kohli- the captain as well as the other support staff including Head coach Ravi Shastri- who was also featuring in his last game as Indian team head coach.

“Virat has been wonderful with the captaincy, and I’ve played with him for 10-12 years too. I always enjoyed his captaincy. He’s positive and aggressive that’s what you want as a player.
