"Players adapt to the situation very quickly, and I don't think there would be any negative impact on players because of limited overs cricket," Jadeja said after his team Gujarat Lions' seven-wicket win over Rising Pune Super Giants on Thursday.

The Lions' chased down a competitive 164, with Brendon McCullum (49) and Aaron Finch (50) starring with the bat.

"Finch and McCullum are power-hitters and they gave us a flying start by adding 85 runs in less then nine overs, that eased the pressure on the middle-order batsmen," Jadeja said.

Finch and McCullum notched up 85 runs for the opening wicket. Finch made 50 off 36 balls with seven fours and two sixes while McCullum scored a 31-ball 49 with three fours and three sixes.

Jadeja said the openers made sure that there was no need to go for big shots.

"After getting a flying start from the openers, there was no need to go for big shots," Jadeja said.
