The Indian cricket team dealt with a major blow on Friday as India’s star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja alongwith fast bowler Ishant Sharma and vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane were ruled out of the 2nd Test against New Zealand in Mumbai due to injuries.
Before the toss, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) made the announcement and released an official statement, informing about the injuries of Ishant Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, and Ajinkya Rahane. The statement read:
“Fast bowler Ishant Sharma dislocated his left little finger during the final day of the 1st Test match in Kanpur. He is thus ruled out of the 2nd Test in Mumbai. The BCCI Medical team will continue to monitor his progress,”
“All-rounder Ravindra Jadeja suffered a right forearm injury during the 1st Test match and after undergoing scans, he was diagnosed with a swelling on his forearm. He has been advised rest and is thus ruled out of the 2nd Test in Mumbai,”
It added: “Rahane sustained a minor left hamstring strain while fielding on the final day of the Kanpur Test. Since he has not recovered completely, he has been ruled out of the 2nd Test in Mumbai. His progress will be closely monitored by the BCCI medical team,”
Meanwhile, the fans were left heartbroken after the ouster of Ravindra Jadeja from the team and as soon as the news came out, social media was flooded with reactions from the fans on Jadeja’s injury.
