No Indian cricket fan would have dreamed of the scene that unfolded in Hyderabad on the evening of Sunday, January 28. Despite being ahead for two consecutive days in the first Test match against England at the Rajiv Gandhi Cricket Stadium, India lost the match by 28 runs. With this, she trailed 0-1 in the series. After the defeat, Team India has suffered another setback, the impact of which can be seen in the next Test. This is the injury of star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, which will make it difficult to play in the next Test.
The first Test of the series ended with a defeat for Team India on Sunday. The Indian team needed 231 runs to win but on the fourth day of the match, all 10 of India's wickets fell within exactly two sessions and only 202 runs could be scored. At a time when Team India's batsmen were losing their wickets, something happened, which increased the tension of captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid.
It was expensive for Team India to get a run
In fact, star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was injured during India's second innings. Batting in the second innings, Jadeja tried to score quick runs but was not successful and England captain Ben Stokes, showing an example of excellent fielding, ran him out. Jadeja's run out was a big blow for Team India as their chances of winning dwindled from there and eventually they faced defeat.
Jadeja's wicket was already tense but as he returned to the pavilion, his gait became flexible. In fact, Jadeja had a hamstring problem and was holding on to it. After the match, coach Rahul Dravid also did not give any clear answer in this matter. According to a PTI report, Dravid said that he has not yet spoken to the team's physio about it and hence cannot say anything about how serious it is.
It is difficult to play in the next test
According to the report, the severity of the hamstring injury will determine when and how many series Jadeja will be able to play. Even if the injury proves to be minor, a week's rest is usually given to fully match fit. The next Test will be held in Visakhapatnam from February 2. In such a case, Jadeja may be out of that test. This experienced left-handed all-rounder scored 87 runs in the first innings, while scoring only 2 runs in the second. He also took a total of 5 wickets in both the innings.
