Currently recovering from a knee injury, Ravindra Jadeja took to Twitter to share a light-hearted moment with fans. The all-rounder gave a sneak peek into his recovery process, sharing photos with his "buddy after keto diet". In the pictures, Jadeja posed with a human skeleton model which left everyone in splits and also received hilarious replies in the comments section. The all-rounder is out of the ongoing South Africa tour due to his injury, which he sustained during the home Test series against New Zealand. It was earlier announced that he would be rehabilitating at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.
Here is Jadeja's tweet:
One fan had a hilarious take on the picture and said that the pair should be wearing masks due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
The fan replied, "Bhai dono mask nahi lagaaye. Covid is real!"
Meanwhile, another user lauded the cricketer and wrote, "Love you sir jadeja u are legend".
Here are the other reactions:
