Speaking to UNI over phone, he said, ''(It's a) Fantasy, that every Indian cricketer has, to play a World Cup final and that too against Pakistan. I think we couldn't had asked for more.'' On India's win against the mighty Australia, Jadeja said, ''It was full of joy. Joy is the first thing that comes to my mind for the team, for myself, for everybody in this country. Joy, Pleasure of watching cricket.'' On Yuvraj Singh's scintillating performance, he said ''Oh, he is just fabulous, I always believed that he has the ability far superior than what we had already seen, but was he has shown it looks like, today we are talking about one of the best in the world.''

Stick to whatever you have been doing, don't try and do anything more, its more than enough.'' ''How I see it is, you are enjoying the moment.
