India suffered a big shock when they lost to England by 28 runs in the Hyderabad Test. There is worrying news for the hosts who lost the first match of the series. Star cricketer Ravindra Jadeja may miss the second Test due to injury.
Jadeja was the top scorer in Team India’s first innings with 87 runs. He got 5 wickets in two innings with the ball in hand. He suffered a hamstring injury on the fourth day of the Test. The all-rounder was seen suffering from discomfort while batting.
In the post-match press conference, Indian coach Rahul Dravid said, “We will look into Jadeja’s issue.” I haven’t had a chance to speak to the physio yet. I’ll talk to him when I get back and see what happens. .
If it’s just a strain rather than a tear and it’s not serious, Jadeja could be given a week’s rest. Although there are four days left for the second Test. The next match of the series will start on February 2 in Visakhapatnam. Whether the left-handed batsman will stay with the team or go to the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru is still unclear.
Jadeja has also struggled with injuries in the recent past. Last month, Centurion suffered a back problem on the morning of the opening Test against South Africa. He has not played a test match in the series.
