How did Ravindra Jadeja get injured?
How did Ravindra Jadeja get injured? Before the Asia Cup India vs Pakistan Super 4 clash, India had a day off. The team management decided to go for a team activity at the team hotel in Dubai. Jadeja had to balance himself on a ski-board as part of water-based training activity. While it was fun, it helped them in gaining better balance.
But it went horribly wrong for Jadeja. The fact is that Ravindra Jadeja was already struggling with his knee. He missed three T20Is against West Indies with knee issues. But it was the team activity that ended his chance of being in the World Cup. At the backwater facility in the hotel, he did exactly what he asked of. And by doing so, his already injured knee gave up.
Ravindra Jadeja was rushed back to Mumbai where he underwent a major knee surgery under orthopaedic surgeon Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala. But as the recovery period is long, he has been ruled out of the T20 World Cup.
“He had to balance himself on some kind of a ski-board as part of an adventure activity – not part of the training manual at all. It was absolutely unnecessary. He slipped and twisted his knee badly, which led to a surgery,” TOI quoted sources on the development.
