Representing Rajasthan Royals, Ravindra Jadeja has not always bowled his full quota of overs due to various factors this IPL season, but the veteran all-rounder has no qualms about it, saying he "leaves his ego in the hotel room before coming to the ground."

In their IPL match on Wednesday, Jadeja's Rajasthan Royals defeated the Lucknow Super Giants by 40 runs thanks to an all-around performance by the Indian star. On not being able to finish his quota of overs in a couple of games previously, Jadeja told JioHotstar.
"When I come to the ground, I leave my personal ego in the hotel room. I just think about contributing in whatever way the team wants from me. When it comes to batting, I wanted to take it deep in this game, because if I had gotten out in the 17th or 18th over playing a wrong shot, we wouldn't have reached 159 and might have fallen 20-25 runs short." Jadeja said.
