The all-rounder had to balance himself on a ski-board and lost his balance, twisting his knee, forcing him out of the tournament and requiring knee surgery. As part of an adventure activity, he had to balance himself on some kind of ski-board, which was not in the training manual at all. It was entirely unnecessary. He slipped and twisted his knee badly, necessitating surgery, sources close to the situation told TOI.
What’s surprising here is that, given how the injury occurred, Head Coach Rahul Dravid hasn’t ‘lost his cool.’ Dravid should have been expected to question the entire process. All in all, India will travel to Australia without Jadeja, sources added. According to the report, BCCI officials are furious about the incident, and fans have taken to social media to express their displeasure as India prepares to be without their premier all-rounder for the T20 World Cup.
The injury has called Jadeja’s participation in the T20 World Cup into question, and if he is unable to travel to Australia, India will suffer a significant setback. Jadeja had only recently begun to play to his full potential with the ball, and we all know he can provide some cheap overs in the middle and is a gun fielder.
Replacing him will be a huge task for the selectors with the T20 World Cup just over a month away.Do you believe Jadeja will be able to play in the World Cup?
