Ravindra Jadeja, the Indian all-rounder, made a scintillating comeback from injury in the first Test match against Australia. After a long layoff due to an ankle injury sustained during the Asia Cup in 2022, Jadeja returned to international cricket with a bang, taking 5 wickets in 22 overs and finishing with figures of 5-47.
Jadeja troubled the Australian top order, breaking the 82-run partnership between Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne and trapping Matt Renshaw, Todd Murphy and Peter Handscomb. With this performance, Jadeja registered his 11th five-wicket haul and helped India skittle out the Aussies for just 177 runs.
Ravindra Jadeja’s injury during the Asia Cup 2022 was a major setback for the Indian cricket team. The all-rounder was ruled out of the tournament due to a knee injury, leaving many fans and experts questioning the cause of the sudden injury. The BCCI later revealed that Jadeja had suffered the injury during an adventure activity at the seaside in Dubai, where he had slipped on a ski-board and badly twisted his knee.
The incident occurred during a break between matches and was not part of the training manual for the Indian cricket team. Despite the setback, Jadeja’s determination and hard work paid off, as he made a sensational comeback in the first Test match against Australia, taking 5 wickets and registering his 11th five-wicket haul.
