You’ll be confused by what Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja disclosed on Tuesday, the day before India’s Asia Cup 2022 play against Hong Kong.
The reporter asked Jadeja: “Jaddu bhai. Firstly, tell us the secret behind your success. After IPL gets over, we hear rumours that Jadeja will not play the World Cup – he has been injured for a year. After that, you return and not only play the India-Pakistan match but give India a big win. How do you handle the pressure when there are so many things being talked about you? Do you get distracted?” Then came Jadeja’s reply which left everyone stunned.
“Aap ne toh bohot choti baat kahi ki main nahi hu World Cup mein. Beech mein toh khabar aayi thi ki main marr gaya hu. Toh issey badi khabar toh ho hi nahi sakti. (You heard a very trivial rumour. Some time back I had heard that I had died. There can’t be a bigger rumour than that). So yes, I don’t think much about it. My thing is simple – heading to the ground, play well and that’s all. As far as success goes, it’s all about practicing in the nets, work on areas that need improvement and that is what works in the match. Day in, day out, the drill is same – bowling, batting and fielding,” Jadeja said during a press conference.
