Physios, Trainers Worked A Lot On My Knee: Ravindra Jadeja

“Rehab, training and stuff, are things that you have to do regularly and you do start wondering if you will ever be fully fit. I was watching the World Cup on television and was thinking, ‘Arey yaar, I wish I was there’. These kinds of thoughts come to your mind and they motivate you to go through rehab and training and get back to full fitness quickly,” Jadeja told bcci.tv.

“Physios and the trainers at the NCA worked a lot on my knee. They gave me so much time and even if it was off on Sundays at the NCA, they would especially come for me. They have worked a lot on me. Like, for two, three weeks, I used to be in Bangalore, then I would go back home to freshen up my mind.”

“I had to be in Bangalore as much as possible so that it helps me in my faster recovery. But two months post the injury was very tough as I wasn’t able to walk or go somewhere. So, that time was very critical and, in this phase, my friends, and family were always there for me,” Jadeja added.

Jadeja has a successful record against Australia at home in Test matches. He was the highest wicket-taker in the 2017-18 series ending with 25 wickets. Overall, he has played 12 Test matches against the Aussies picking up 63 wickets.
