‘Series 0-5 se haarni hai kya?’ – Fans react as Ravindra Jadeja doubtful for 2nd Test vs England due to hamstring injury

Published on

Team India suffered a crushing defeat against England in the first Test match on January 28 at the iconic Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. Notably, the hosts have dealt with another blow after India’s loss, as star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is doubtful about playing the second Test game against the English side.

India’s star cricketer Ravindra Jadeja played a crucial role in the first innings as he went on to hammer crucial 87 runs as well as scalp three wickets that dismantled England’s batting line-up in the first innings. Moreover, the southpaw has been crucial for Team India in Test matches, as he was the star player in the Border Gavaskar Trophy, which helped India win the Test series against Australia last year.

Moreover, sources claim that the CSK star has dealt with a grave hamstring injury during the second innings of the first Test match. Notably, the problem with hamstring injuries is that full recovery takes a long time. However, the extent of the injury will determine when he can return to the national team. The 35-year-old cricketer will get a week off to heal from it.

Meanwhile, the left-handed batter suffered a back spasm last month, which prevented him from playing in a Test series in South Africa. Notably, it seems that Ravindra Jadeja and the management will want to avoid taking any chances in the second Test match.

Once I get back, I’ll speak to Ravindra Jadeja and see what it is about: Rahul Dravid

Meanwhile, India’s head coach, Rahul Dravid, also opened up about Ravindra Jadeja’s injuries. The former India skipper revealed that he didn’t have any words with the trainers about his injury. In addition, the legendary cricketer says that he will talk with the great spinner ahead of the second Test match.

“We’ll see. I honestly haven’t had a chance to speak to the physio as yet. Once I get back, I’ll speak to him and see what it is about,” Rahul Dravid said at the post-match media conference.
