Ex-South Africa skipper AB de Villiers defended Ravindra Jadeja's slow-scoring tactics at Lord's, saying, "I would've played lot more attacking strokes and probably would've come up way more short than Jadeja did." Praising Jadeja's calmness, he added, "He was happy to sort of play Ben Stokes' game plan." De Villiers emphasised that Jadeja didn't allow Stokes to control the match.
