Ravindra Jadeja has made name for himself with his stellar performances for the Indian cricket team in Test matches this year. The all-rounder played an innings of 175 runs against the Sri Lankan cricket team earlier this year, and today, he scored his maiden overseas Test century against the England cricket team at Edgbaston in Birmingham.
Fans should note that between these two Test hundreds there was an IPL season, where Ravindra Jadeja was the captain of the Chennai Super Kings team. Jadeja could not handle the captaincy pressure well. His personal performance was impacted negatively.
Shedding some light on his numbers in IPL 2022, Jadeja scored 116 runs in 10 matches at a strike rate of 118.37. With the ball, he scalped five wickets at an average of 49.60. It was one of the most disappointing seasons of his IPL career, but Jadeja made a big change to his lifestyle after he got injured.
Times of India journalist K Shriniwas Rao recently shared a tweet, informing the fans how Jadeja took a break from the sport and from internet to rejuvenate himself. He reportedly went to forest for solitude and time.
From best to worst to best: The Ravindra Jadeja story
Earlier today, Ravindra Jadeja resumed on his overnight score of 83 runs and completed his first Test hundred outside India. He eventually lost his wicket for 104 runs as James Anderson rattled his stumps.
Soon after the innings ended, the journalist posted two tweets, which read:
“He left the CSK camp because he needed a break, shut himself from the world because he needed time for himself. It was one of the worst patches of his professional career. Everybody had an opinion. A friend tells me, he just went away into the forests, no network, no distractions.”
Everybody had an opinion. All he did was shut his ears to everyone.

A friend tells me, he just went away into the forests, no network, no distractions. Just wanted solitude & time.
And once he found what he was looking for, he quietly made himself available once again.
