He believed that the agony of losing out on the big event encouraged him to get back into shape as soon as possible. The southpaw also commended the trainers and staff at the NCA, who worked diligently, even on Sundays, to help him recover quickly.
“Rehab, training and everything are things that you have to do consistently and you do start wondering if you will ever be really fit. I was watching the World Cup on television and was thinking, ‘Arey yaar, I wish I was there’. These types of ideas cross your mind, and they push you to go through rehab and training in order to return to full condition as soon as possible.

The first day was quite difficult, as everyone is familiar with Chennai’s heat: Jadeja
When asked about his recuperation from knee surgery. Jadeja emphasized the significance of his family and friends’ support when he couldn’t walk correctly. After announcing his match fitness with a seven-for against Tamil Nadu during Saurashtra’s Ranji Trophy game in January. He made an incredible comeback to action.
“I needed to stay in Bangalore as often as possible to aid in my rehabilitation. But it was difficult two months after the accident since I couldn’t walk or travel anywhere. So, that period was essential, and my friends and family were always there for me.
I felt a little weird the first day I went to the ground since I hadn’t been out in the sun in five months due to all of my indoor training and gym time. I had reservations about my ability to maintain myself with my body for 90 hours of gaming. “However, the first day was quite difficult, and everyone is familiar with Chennai’s heat,” Jadeja added.
