While bowling in Tamil Nadu's first innings, Jadeja could only grab one wicket. He had a forgetful first apperance with the bat too as the left-handed batter was dismissed for 15 runs in his team's first innings. Although he completely turnaround the game with his terriffic bowling in the second innings, it remains to be seen how the all-rounder fares as a batter during the 266-run chase.

Meanwhile, Saurashtra suffered a serious blow to their aspirations of winning the match as they lost opener Jay Gohil for a duck in their second innings while chasing the target. At the end of play on Day three, Saurashtra are 4/1 in 4 overs with opener Harvik Desai batting at three runs and night watchman Chetan Sakariya at one run.
