Star India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has started training after undergoing successful knee surgery. The swashbuckling all-rounder on October 19 (Wednesday) shared a video on his social media handles where he can be seen doing light running in the gym. The 33-year-old is currently believed to be at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore.

Jadeja recently underwent successful surgery for Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injury but the injury has forced the star all-rounder to miss the upcoming T20 World Cup along with the two home T20I series - first against Australia and then South Africa.
"The surgery was successful. There are many people to thank for their support and involvement - BCCI, my teammates, support staff, physios, doctors and the fans. I will start my rehab soon and try to get back to (bat emoticon) soon as I can. Thank you to everyone for your kind wishes,” Jadeja wrote on Instagram.
Jadeja has evolved as one of the vital cogs in the Indian setup. With his all-round capabilities, he offers a much-needed balance to the XI. Also, not to forget his batting style (left-handed) which allows India to make strategic changes to their batting line-up considering favourable match-ups.
One such example was the Asia Cup match between India and Pakistan where the left-handed batter played a mature innings and helped India win the game.
In Jadeja's absence, Axar Patel has been named in India's World Cup squad.
