The lion hunts silently, the real mantra of Jadeja’s success, after hearing which even the critics have become fans.

News India Live, Digital Desk: There has never been any dearth of talent in Indian cricket. But having talent and proving it in every match is a world of difference between the two. Today we are talking about ‘Rockstar’ Ravindra Jadeja. The same Jaddu, whose fielding leaves our eyes teary-eyed and whose chest swells with pride after seeing his sword fighting (celebration of batting). Recently, his old teammates who have played with Jadeja have said such things about him, which is a big lesson for all of us, especially the youth. Far away from ‘politics’, focus only on cricket. We often hear that there is a little bit of ‘politics’ in cricket too, There is a drama of selection or a game of PR. But Jadeja’s former teammates say that this player is not even an iota concerned with all these things. Jadeja’s attitude is very clear, “My job is to perform on the field, to hell with what the rest of the world thinks.” Whenever questions were raised about his place in the team or when he was out due to injury, he never cried in the media. He simply went to NCA (National Cricket Academy), worked hard there and returned as a ‘better version’. The passion was such that even sweat gave up. His colleagues told that we only see sixes and wickets on TV, but the hard work behind it is unimaginable. Ravindra Jadeja sweats for hours in net practice. His level of fitness is such that even today the 20-22 year old boys coming to the team are not able to beat him in running. This is the reason why he is called a ‘Relentless’ player. Be it the 5th day of a Test match or the last over of T20, Jadeja’s energy does not drop even by one percent. “Perform, or go home.” Jadeja’s mentality is very practical. He knows that emotions can wear you down in sports. Therefore his focus is always only on improving his game. Be it scoring runs with the bat, taking wickets or taking impossible catches by diving like a cheetah on the boundary, he throws himself into every role. His old teammates believe that even in the dressing room, he remains very simple. No pretense, no grandstanding. All his anger and aggression comes out only on the field against the opposition team.
