IND vs SA: Good news for the Indian team, this star all-rounder is fit for the second test.

Good news is coming for Team India, which has lost 1-0 in the two-Test series against South Africa. Ravindra Jadeja, who was out of the playing eleven due to back pain in the Centurion Test, may make a comeback in the second Test. According to media reports, Ravindra Jadeja warmed up on the third day of the first Test and he is feeling fine now. He also took part in fitness sessions and also bowled. It is believed that he is ready to return to the field. With his arrival, while the bowling will be strengthened, the batting will also get depth.

If reports are to be believed, Ravindra Jadeja practised bowling with Mukesh Kumar after lunch on 28 December. During this time, the team's strength and conditioning coach Rajinikanth was also present with him. Ravindra Jadeja looked comfortable while bowling. It is expected that he can play in the second Test to be played at Newlands, Cape Town.

The Indian team management had included Ravichandran Ashwin in the playing 11 in place of Ravindra Jadeja in the Centurion Test. But, Ashwin could not live up to the expectations. He took only one wicket while spending 41 runs in 19 overs of bowling. While batting, he scored only 8 runs in the first innings and a duck in the second innings. In such a situation, the return of Ravindra Jadeja in place of Ashwin is considered certain.
