Team India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja is gearing up for the upcoming Border Gavaskar Trophy series. He had to abort the Asia Cup last September to undergo surgery on his right knee. The left-handed cricketer has been out of action since then, and is likely to make a comeback in the four-match Test series against Australia. The Board of Control for Cricket in India recently announced the squad for the first-two matches, with Ravindra Jadeja’s inclusion.
The all-rounder resumed bowling after injury at the National Cricket Academy, and also shared a video from the session. He took to social media to share video for the fans, who are waiting for his comeback to the Indian team. In the video, the spinner can be seen bowling in the nets. He captioned the video as, “Left arm around #priority”
