Ravindra Jadeja credits his omission from the first two Tests in the Border Gavaskar Trophy for his performance at Gabba. Even though Jadeja did not steal the spot with the ball in hand but contributed crucial 77 runs in the middle. Speaking about that, Jadeja said the gap helped him to get accustomed to the conditions in a better way. He said in the pre-match conference, "The first two Tests I didn’t play, but it gave me an opportunity to practice and get used to the conditions. All the time, I got to understand the conditions, bowl on these pitches and bat on these pitches; it made me familiar with these conditions. All the hard work in the nets helped me in the match." Coming at 7, Jadeja added 67 runs with the other pillar of batting KL Rahul (84).

Despite the second inning at Perth, the entire show was nothing but frustrating. Having that, Jadeja is quite confident that India will seal the series. Presently, BGT is in a poised situation, having the result 1-1. A 295-run emphatic win in the first Test at Perth and a 10-wicket defeat in the second pink-ball Test at Adelaide, followed by a rain-fed draw at The Gabba, both teams will try to look for a result at Melboune. Jadeja believes that India is in a better condition. He believes that if India can win at least one of the remaining two, India will retain the series. In the conference, he said, "We are in a good position, after three matches, it's still 1-1. It is going to be interesting. Even if we win one match out of the next two, we will retain the series because we have won the last two times here. It's a good opportunity to push ourselves and do well in Melbourne. Yes, we will worry about the last match later, the focus now is on the Boxing Day Test. It's a crucial game for us." India will face Australia on December 26 at Melbourne. Even if India retains the series, India needs to win both if they need to qualify for the World Test Championship.
