IND vs ENG: [Watch] Ravindra Jadeja gives fans a glimpse of his gym equipment
Team India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja posted a video on his Twitter account in which he gave fans a look at his gym equipment.
Having missed the home series against England due to injury, Ravindra Jadeja made a comeback to the Indian team. He was named in the 20-member squad for the upcoming tour of England.
Taking to his official Twitter handle, Ravindra Jadeja shared a video of his gym equipment as he began preparations for the England tour. Along with the video, the all-rounder wrote:
"Preparation starts here #englandtour #workout."
Ravindra Jadeja is known as one of the fittest cricketers of the modern era and is among the best fielders to have ever played the game.
The 32-year-old will be part of the Indian squad that will feature in the World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand in Southampton from June 18. This will be followed by five Tests against England, starting August 4 in Nottingham.
Apart from Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel and Washington Sundar are the other spinners who are part of the squad for England, with Kuldeep Yadav being axed from the team.
Ravindra Jadeja was having an impressive Test series in Australia. However, a thumb injury during the Sydney Test ruled him out of the fourth Test at the Gabba as well as the entire England series at home.
He recently turned out for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in IPL 2021 and had a reasonably good outing. In the seven matches he played before the event was suspended, Ravindra Jadeja scored 131 runs at a strike rate of 161.72.
This included an unbeaten knock of 62 runs off only 28 balls against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). He slammed five sixes off an over from Harshal Patel during this innings.
Ravindra Jadeja also claimed six wickets at a strike rate of 24 and an economy rate of 6.70. He was brilliant in the field, as always, effecting a couple of run-outs and taking eight catches.
