Ravindra Jadeja Injury: Star all-rounder gives major update to his fans, says 'I am a rider'

In what comes as a positive development from the Indian camp, Ravindra Jadeja has shown good signs of fitness in a recent video posted by him on Instagram. The all-rounder shared some snippets of doing some aerobic type of moderate-intensity runs at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.

The most recent video clip that garnered the attention of the Indian cricket fraternity, goes to show that the veteran is just one step closer to making a comeback to the team. He might as well be back in cricketing action for the Rajkot Test on February 15.

Ind vs Eng: Ravindra Jadeja shares training video on Instagram

The training video clip posted by the Navagam-born cricketer, begins with him doing brisk runs, albeit slowly, back and forth. The caption of the post reads, "I’ma rider! #donotgiveup." Jadeja pitched in with 87 in the first innings of the Hyderabad Test.

Team India dealt a huge blow after the 35-year-old all-rounder ruled himself out of the second Test due to a hamstring injury. The senior pro picked up a hamstring while trying to get back to the non-striker’s end for a quick single on Day 4 of the Hyderabad Test.



Meanwhile, England’s Test captain Ben Stokes showed incredible athleticism by grabbing the ball before hitting the bull’s eye, bringing an end to Jadeja’s innings. Soon after the dismissal, Jadeja was seen in discomfort as he clutched his hamstring while he made his way back to the dressing room.

Team India had a chance to seal the deal but they let go of the opportunity in the run-chase before losing the plot. England clinched the Test opener by 28 runs and took a 1-0 lead in the series. The second Test will kick off on February 2 in the coastal city of Andhra Pradesh.
