TIL Desk Sports/Left-arm spinner Ashton Agar, who became only the second Australian bowler to take a T20I hat-trick, has revealed he admires “rockstar” Ravindra Jadeja and wants to play cricket like the Indian all-rounder.
Agar picked up a brilliant fifer, including a hat-trick, as Australia defeated South Africa by a huge margin of 107 runs in first of the three T20Is played at the Wanderers. Retired pacer Brett Lee is the other Australian bowler to have taken a hat-trick in T20Is.
The left-handed spinner didn”t have a great time in the three-match ODI series in India as he could manage taking just two wickets while conceding 5.60 runs per over against the Men in Blue. However, after an underwhelming performance, Agar had a chat with Jadeja and was “inspired” by him.
“I had a wonderful chat with Ravindra Jadeja after the India series,” Agar said after the match on Friday. “He”s my favourite player in the world — I want to play cricket like he does.
