On his comeback in India’s Test whites for the first time since July 2022, Ravindra Jadeja returned with bowling figures of 22-8-47-5 in the first day of the Nagpur Test.
“Playing after 5 months, playing Test cricket, it’s tough,” Jadeja said on stumps at day one. “I was prepared for it and I was working hard on my fitness as well as on my skills at NCA. I played a first-class game (Ranji) after a long time and I bowled almost 42 overs. It gave me a lot of confidence to come here and play a Test match.”
The 34-year-old all-rounder, who was also the leading wicket taker the last time Australia played a Test series in India, spilled the beans on his comeback to international cricket following an injury bout.
