"India can think of dropping a batsman but not Jadeja. Unlike the top order, he didn't play and miss. He looked the most comfortable Indian batsman here. India on this tour have failed to put their best playing XI on the field. Hope it changes in the last two Tests" posted Kaif.

KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja are the only batters who scored more than 50 runs. India saved follow-on as Akash Deep and Jasprit Bumrah put a stand of 39 runs.
