Bengaluru: Having wrapped up a convincing series win over England on Tuesday, India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja stressed that the team would seek to build on their impressive form, heading into 2017, and try to become a formidable force away from home.
“It’s been a good year for Indian cricket. We won a lot and hopefully we can continue the same positive performances next year as well. We did well in the West Indies so we are keen to improve our performance away from home to make Indians around the world proud. We promise to work hard for this,” said Jadeja.
