" I Have Been Blessed That I Was Given A Chance Again"- Ravindra Jadeja

Indian Cricket Team would be banking on the spin against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The 1st Test Match is going to be played at Nagpur on 9th February. The Men in Blue has been bolstered by the return of star veteran spinner Ravindra Jadeja who has been missing from action since Asia Cup 2022.

It is assumed that this Australian side gives a glimpse of the champion 2001 side. The Pat Cummins-led will have to be ruthless as giving a chance to India would be quite risky. All eyes would be on off-spinner Nathan Lyon as once again Aussies don’t have a quality spinner present after him.

Ravindra Jadeja on Comeback

Ravindra Jadeja was having an interaction with BCCI.tv and was asked about the comeback. “I am very excited and happy that after almost more than 5 months, I get to wear the Indian jersey again. I have been blessed that I was given a chance again and the journey to reach here was full of up and downs. Because if you are not playing cricket for 5 months, it becomes very frustrating and obviously, I was eagerly waiting to get fit as soon as possible so that I can go play for India.” said Ravindra Jadeja.

Ravindra Jadeja on Injury Phase

Ravindra Jadeja revealed his injury period. ” I had a problem with my knee and I had to get surgery sooner or later. But I had to take the decision whether I would have it before the World Cup or after. So the doctor also advised me to do it before the World Cup because even if I didn’t do the surgery, the chance of me playing the World Cup was anyway pretty less. So I made up my mind and went for the surgery.” said Ravindra Jadeja.

“But the period after that was pretty difficult because you have to continuously do rehab and training. You had thoughts in your head about your fitness When you saw the matches on TV, like I was watching the World Cup, I wished that I was there. These small things motivate you to speed up the recovery process.” he added.
