Ahead of India's four-Test series against Australia starting next month, there is good news for the Rohit Sharma-led team. Star spin all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, whose inclusion in the squad was "subject to fitness", made a great comeback with a seven-wicket haul for Saurashtra against Tamil Nadu in a Ranji Trophy game in Chennai. Courtesy, Jadeja's 7/53 in 17.1 overs, Saurashtra dismissed Tamil Nadu for just 133 in the second innings on the third day of the match. They now need 262 runs to win with nine wickets to spare. 

Jadeja has been missing from action since September 2022, after he picked up a knee injury during the Asia Cup. Following which, he underwent a knee surgery and went to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) for rehabilitation. After taking the seven-wicket haul, Jadeja tweeted a special with the caption: "First cherry of the season. #redcherry"
