Ravindra Jadeja caught attention with the ball after returning to the field after recovering from injury. The Indian all-rounder took 8 wickets in two innings against Tamil Nadu in the Ranji Trophy. He took 7 wickets only in the second innings. Jadeja’s bowling gives relief to Rohit Sharma.
Jadeja is playing in Ranji against Tamil Nadu after recovering from an injury. The Saurashtra captain could not catch the eye in the first innings with the bat. He scored 15 runs. He also took 1 wicket in the first innings. But Jadeja returned to the rhythm in the second innings.
Chennai’s wicket has always been spin-friendly. Jadeja used that wicket. Having played for Chennai Super Kings for a long time, Jadeja knows the wicket like the back of his hand. It was seen in this match. Narayan Jagadeesan, father Aparajit, father Indrajit, and Vijay Shankar could not stand up to his bowling. Jadeja took 7 wickets with 53 runs in 17.1 overs. Tamil Nadu was all out for just 133 runs.
In August 2022, Jadeja seriously injured his right knee while having fun with his teammates at a hotel during the Asia Cup. Later he underwent knee surgery. Since then he has been out of the national team. The left-handed all-rounder started batting and bowling practice at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore a few days ago. At the same time, fitness training was going on. After that, the Indian all-rounder entered the Ranji.
India Australia’s first Test in Nagpur will start on February 9. Before that, it will be seen in the Ranji match whether Jadeja is in a condition to recover from the injury and take the pressure of playing the five-day match. BCCI bosses don’t want to take any risk with Jadeja. The board’s medical board members will take the final decision on whether Jadeja will play or not. But before that Jadeja’s form will give relief to Rohit.
