In Short

  • Ravindra Jadeja has started preparations for England tour at his Jamnagar residence
  • Jadeja shared video and pictures of him from his home gym
  • India's England tour starts with WTC final vs New Zealand in Southampton

India all-rounder is a 'rockstar' on and off the field and there is no doubt about it now. He made a sensational return to professional cricket after recovering from his thumb injury which he incurred during the third Test in Australia and came up with some sensational batting, bowling and fielding efforts in the now-postponed IPL 2021.

He scored 131 runs at a strike rate of 161.72 and average of 131. He picked 6 wickets in 7 matches at a bowling average of 26.83 and grabbed 8 catches for the 3-time champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who were placed second on the points table at the time of suspension after 29 league matches.

Jadeja's stature has grown significantly in world cricket ever since he revealed his 2.0 version with the bat. The 32-year-old by now has also impressed most of the former greats of the game.

"I can tell you from a foreigner's perspective, I could never understand any of the criticism that came his [Ravindra Jadeja's] way. He is a terrific cricketer, he can do absolutely everything at the top highest level," Styris had recently said on Star Sports.
