Ravindra Jadeja is working regressively to make a comeback

Ravindra Jadeja has clearly grown into his role as India’s second lead spinner, behind Ravichandran Ashwin. Along with Ashwin have time and again been able to tumble wickets and put pressure on the opposition. Currently been sidelined due to some terrific performances by the spin duo Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal, Jadeja believes he has been doing all good and doesn’t need to prove his stature to anyone.

The 29-year-old already carries 300 odd wickets to his name and still rares to be out there and express in the best way possible. Jadeja not only contributes with the ball but has also been able to contribute through bat and through his electric fielding skills. He was the part of recently concluded Test series against South Africa, but due to conditions demand, he didn’t get a game. Further, the last he represented India in limited over in the series against West Indies.

India comeback at the earliest

Speaking to sportstarlive.com, Ravindra Jadeja says it’s really tough to make in the Indian squad but will try his level best. He said, “I don’t want to look at myself as someone who is on a comeback trail. There is nothing more to prove, being second highest wicket-taker in 2017 from India with 54 victims. All I look for is to give off my best whenever I get a chance.”

“It is really tough to make it to the Indian team. But, at the same time, it is also good to have healthy competition. This is good for Indian cricket. It will make you push your limits and keep improving as a complete cricketer,” he added. Asking about his target in the nearest future, Jadeja said, Definitely, to be in the Indian team at the earliest is my biggest goal now. I should create the opportunities to achieve this.”

He also appreciated the spin duo and said, “The wrist spinners are doing a wonderful job in one-dayers. For them, two variations — the one that spins away and the one that comes back to the batsman — come naturally. It is more difficult for the finger spinners and not easy on every wicket. But, it doesn’t mean it is the end of the road for bowlers like me,” he explained.
