Ravindra Jadeja reveals India's plan for Day 3

Ravindra Jadeja's impressive all-round performance has been a highlight of the match, with a crucial 86 runs and two wickets in Bangladesh 's first innings. He acknowledged his disappointment at missing out on a century but remained focused on the team's goals.

"First we have to bat very well, we have to put somewhere around 120-150 from hereon. We'll be in a good position and then we'll come out and bowl and try and get them out as early as possible," Jadeja said.

As many as 17 wickets fell on the day, a Chepauk record, and though there were no demons in the pitch, there was definitely something in it for the pacers.

"It's pretty good for batting but there's still something in the wicket for the fast bowlers. Odd ball was seaming, odd ball was swinging, it's not that easy for batters. If fast bowlers bend their back, they can take something out of the wicket."

Asked about his partnership with Ashwin and what was his "advice" to the local boy after they joined hands with India struggling at 144 for six on the opening day, Jadeja said, "First of all, Ashwin doesn't need any advice. I was just talking to Ash that we are not gonna miscall or try and make errors because the wicket was so good and we both were batting very well.

"I said we'll look to take easy singles, I'll try and not make you run hard and that was the conversation between us. Well played to Ashwin, he played a brilliant knock at his home ground.

"There is something in the wicket for the fast bowler and for spinners also, odd spin and odd ball is keeping low. All the five bowlers will be in play."
