Senior Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is not in action with the Indians at the highest level of the game due to an injury that he sustained during the Asia Cup 2022. Subsequently, he was ruled out of the entire part of continental tournament. Later on, he also missed the 20-20 World Cup 2022.
Notably, the Indian team has played 70 international matches in all formats but Jadeja could feature only in 15 out of these appearances. But the question that is striking in the minds of the cricket fans is why it took a time of three months for Ravindra Jadeja to join National Cricket Academy if he had such a severe injury.
Indian team has a jam-packed home schedule for the next few months including an all-important four-match Test series against Australia in February next year.
Coming back to Jadeja, the fans have called out the 34-year-old for not taking his concern seriously and joining NCA just ahead of the mini-auction for the next season of the Indian T20 League. He took to his Instagram story to update us about his arrival in Bangalore.
Here's a look at Ravindra Jadeja's Instagram story:
