IND vs NZ: Ravindra Jadeja – Team India received a massive shot in the arm as all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is likely to be fit for the New Zealand series after recovering from a knee injury.

The all-rounder gave a fitting caption to the picture which read, “Sea you real soon.” Jadeja, who was out of action for close to six months, is now eyeing to make a roaring comeback.

Undoubtedly, Jadeja is a vital cog in all three formats for India. Be it bat, ball, or in the field, Jadeja is a game changer. BCCI are though not willing to take any risks and have given instructions to Chetan Sharma-led to include the all-rounder unless he match-fit. To get match fitness, National Cricket Academy has arranged special sessions for Jadeja and Bumrah. They are going through match simulations before returning to Team India.
“Both Bumrah and Jadeja are crucial to our plans against Australia. We have paid the price once and don’t want to rush them back again. They had fitness tests at the NCA, and both cleared the tests. But we still felt they need some more time,” a senior BCCI official told InsideSport earlier.
Bumrah Jadeja Special Training: Instead, under Nitin Patel’s observation, Bumrah and Jadeja are going through a series of tests and training sessions to evaluate match workload. For Jadeja, he has been made to bowl, bat, and field to understand where he stands in terms of full fitness. In the case of Bumrah, he has already begun bowling at full tilt.
While Jasprit Bumrah’s return was touch and go, Ravindra Jadeja was confirmed to return. But BCCI intervened. Jadeja was previously named in the squad for the Bangladesh tour.
