Jadhav, who's enjoying in place of an indisposed Suresh Raina, bowled for the first time in global cricket when MS Dhoni gave him the ball ahead of the regular spin duo of Axar Patel and Amit Mishra on a seaming Dharamsala observe in the first one-dayer.

"Here, you need to contribute if the captain is asking you to bowl (some) overs. You don't have to bowl (just) as a part-time bowler. You need to take the responsibility with the ball or bat," Jadhav mentioned.

"I guess when you play for India, you have to contribute in every possible way you can. While playing in the IPL, I do that with wicketkeeping -- by contributing rather than batting," Jadhav mentioned.

Jadhav mentioned he varies his action according the batsman to be able to make it tricky to learn.

"It's both - a bit of my action and the pace I vary according to the batsmen that makes it difficult (for them) to read I guess. Mahi bhai asked me to bowl. Obviously, Mahi wants a few bowlers from the top five or six batsmen to bowl at least 4-5 overs. If a bowler has a bad day, it helps (the team) you know."

Jadhav who were given out for a duck in the fourth ODI in Ranchi is but to click as a batsman and he mentioned he's to learn temporarily. Youngster Manish Pandey too is missing amongst runs and Jadhav mentioned they must get into their act soon.

"Obviously, the opportunity has been missed, especially in the last game. But it's still early stages for Manish (Pandey) and me. We need to grab whatever opportunity is thrown at us. We need to learn quickly from the opportunities we have missed. That's what international cricket is all about - delivering when it matters most to the team."

An attacking middle-order batsman, Jadhav who got here into the limelight with a 29-ball-50 for Delhi Daredevils on his IPL debut, also spoke about his favorite sweep shot.

"Sweep is a natural shot to me. It's my power. If a spinner is bowling to my pads in the center overs and when you do not wanna take too many high-risk shots.

"That's the shot which you'll be able to take when the bowler tries to bowl outside the leg stump or off stump. You can paddle it out as a result of we have 4 fielders at the leg aspect and in the back of the sq., you have only one (fielder). If you cross that fielder, you get a sure-shot boundary. It's a just right shot to play when the bowlers assault my pads."

Jadhav also sponsored their batting unit which appears to be like an excessive amount of depending on Virat Kohli.

"Virat is a brilliant participant and it is at all times great if he rankings. It makes existence easy for the batsmen coming next to get whatever runs (conceivable). But it's not like that (we're overdependent on him). We have too many high quality batsmen in the team and we need to ship on every occasion we get the chance."
