Ravindra Jadeja will be back in action for the next four days as Saurashtra takes on Tamil Nadu in Chennai in their last league match of Ranji Trophy. Jaddu is also the designated captain for the match, as regular skipper Jaydev Unadkat and Cheteshwar Pujara have been rested ahead of Border-Gavaskar Trophy commencing February 9.

Extremely important to both Team India and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) , Ravindra Jadeja had undergone surgery to his knee, following which he was under rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA), Bangalore.

There was a public back and forth between Chennai Super Kings and Ravindra Jadeja until a couple of months ago after the star all-rounder relinquished captaincy at IPL 2022 following a poor start to the season.
The veteran of 210 Indian Premier League matches, however, settled things up with his franchise and was retained at the Players auction in December, much to the pleasure of fans.
