"It's about the contributions he makes at different phases of the game. It doesn't have to be in 50s or 100s or a stat for us, even a small contribution makes a lot for us in T20s. He's really keen on putting on good performances," Dravid said. Non-Committal on Ravindra Jadeja knee injuryHis lead spin bowling all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja
