A death hoax is the strangest rumor Jadeja has heard about himself. Jadeja did not say when or where he heard the news, but he did say it was the strangest rumor he had ever heard about himself.
The reporter inquired of Jadeja: Greetings, Jaddu bhai. First, tell us about the secret to your success. After the IPL, there are rumours that Jadeja will not play in the World Cup because he has been injured for a year. Following that, you return and not only play the India-Pakistan match, but also give India a convincing victory. How do you deal with the pressure when so much is being said about you? Do you get easily distracted? Then came Jadeja’s response, which took everyone by surprise.
Aap ne toh bohot choti baat kahi ki main World Cup mein nahi hu. Beech mein toh khabar aayi thi ki main marr gaya hu. Toh issey badi khabar toh ho hi nahi sakti. (You heard a very insignificant rumor. I had recently learned that I had died. There’s no bigger rumor than that). So, no, I don’t give it much thought. My strategy is straightforward: get to the ground and play well. In terms of success, it all comes down to practicing in the nets, working on areas that need improvement, and doing what works in the match. The drill is the same every day – bowling, batting, and fielding, during a press conference, Jadeja stated.
