Two big names in the Indian team – newly appointed vice-captain Rohit Sharma and comprehensive Ravindra Jadeja – went missing during the team’s flight to South Africa as both were previously eliminated from the Test series with injuries. Rohit injured his hamstring during a training session ahead of the South Africa tour while Jadeja was diagnosed with a right forearm injury in the first test match against New Zealand.
Before the series in South Africa, Dainik Jagran reported that Jadeja’s “very serious” injury will require an operation that could effectively rule him out for four to six months, so he could quit Test cricket to prolong his career his white shadow.
Although Jadeja did not directly address the rumors of Test’s retirement, he effectively refuted the speculations with two separate tweets on Wednesday.
The almighty shared a photo that reads “You fake believe the rumors. You really believe in you”, right before sharing the image of himself in the India jersey with the caption ” There’s still a long way to go.”
