With Pant sitting out of the match, all of India`s top 6 batsman were right handed. Therefore, Jadeja being sent in early as a left hander to take on the dual spin threat of Shadab and Nawaz proved to be a masterstroke

India cricketer Robin Uthappa believes that the move to promote left-arm spin all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja to number four was a good move, something which no one could have predicted in the Asia Cup Group A match against Pakistan.
With left-handed wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant left out of the eleven as India chose to stick to Dinesh Karthik`s finishing abilities, it meant that the top six batters were all right-handed. After Rohit Sharma fell at the end of the eighth over, Jadeja was surprisingly promoted to four and batted till the final over, making 35 runs in 29 balls.
