A day later Ravindra Jadeja did the same as he chose to broke silence on Instagram. "No unnecessary rumours thanks," wrote the all-rounder quashing all speculations regarding his ODI future.

Jadeja after completing his spell in the final shared a hug with Virat Kohli, which led to massive outcry on social media speculating his retirement from the format.

Jadeja played his part in India's success by contributing in both departments of the game. He produced an economical performance with the ball, which saw him concede just 30 runs and pick a wicket in his quota of ten overs. He was also required to bat but by the time he arrived the match was almost sealed by India. Jadeja scored nine off six balls, which also him hit the winning runs as India chased down the 252-run target with an over to spare.
