As per ESPNCricinfo, Ravindra Jadeja will resume playing on January 24 when Saurashtra will play Tamil Nadu in the Ranji Trophy. However, Jadeja, as per the BCCI selectors, must take fitness tests to play competitive cricket, and later, mark himself eligible for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Tests.

Cricket can often have a reputation for burying phoenixes and not allowing them to spark into a second life, especially in India where the competition is the highest. However, Jaydev Unadkat ensured he was an exception with his determination as his fairy tale continued with a dream start to 2023.

Cheteshwar Pujara continued his dry run with the bat and was dismissed without troubling scorers in a Ranji Trophy match against Mumbai. Pujara was trapped LBW by Mohit Avasthi who is playing his debut match and the team was bundled out for 220 runs trailing by 324 runs at the end of first innings.

Jaydev Unadkat has said that the Ranji Trophy getting postponed for a second consecutive year due to the Covid-19 is a huge disappointment for the players. The Saurashtra captain further added that the two-year gap in red-ball format will hamper the skills of the domestic cricketers.
